"Hello.

You've reached the direct line of Doctor Frederick Chilton. As I am not available at the moment, you might assume I'm quite busy with something pressing. State your name and business, and I will return your call."

Comments

[selfequipped]

Good? And what is good to you, Frederick?

[Maybe a bad idea to ask ... but hey, the question's out already.]

[slightlyoffchilt]

Maybe you ought to try your hand at analysis, Kate. Now is good a time as any, to start.

[selfequipped]

I analyze fine. Psychoanalysis I'll leave to someone who enjoys it.

[slightlyoffchilt]

I suppose now is fine a time as any to inquire -- what is it that you'd want to do? Vigilante isn't a viable profession, I won't accept that as an answer.

[selfequipped]

I did some PI work back home. I'm interested in continuing it.

[slightlyoffchilt]

Private investigation. [A beat follows.] I suppose there's a certain romance to the notion.

[selfequipped]

I already have a job lined up.

[So it's realistic too!]

[slightlyoffchilt]

Oh, do you? Someone you don't know have a personal connection to, or...?

[He's wondering about how networked her success might be.]

[selfequipped]

[She debates over how connected she is to Matt Murdock, and decides that she isn't.]

Yeah, we met up here.

[Same world doesn't necessarily mean friends, after all, even if they do have similar viewpoints.]

[slightlyoffchilt]

What's the case like? Or -- can't you discuss it? Confidentiality and what not. [Relevant topic. And what not.]

[selfequipped]

I'll be signing on as a defense attorney's PI.

[slightlyoffchilt]

Quite lawful good of you.

[oh my god he's a huge nerd]

[selfequipped]

[Wait, where has she heard that before?

Kate is a normal person, Chilton.

Oh, right:]

... Do you do that tabletop thing, too?

[slightlyoffchilt]

Uhh.

[He's a nerddd.]

No, I do not.

[selfequipped]

This is unexpected.

[slightlyoffchilt]

You do not have to take such evident glee in this so-called unexpected... Thing.

[selfequipped]

You're a nerd. Some of my favorite people are nerds, but you weren't going to make that list anytime soon.

[slightlyoffchilt]

Are we resorting to classification now?

[Says the man who classifies people for a living.]

[selfequipped]

I thought you were trying to push me toward the classification thing.

[slightlyoffchilt]

Maybe from another angle.

[selfequipped]

The Chilton-less angle, right?

[slightlyoffchilt]

Sounds like an unappealing angle, now that you mention it.

[selfequipped]

Yeah, we really shouldn't talk about Chiltons. It's just that Chilton's got the advantage of talking about everyone else.

Professional curiosity, right?

[slightlyoffchilt]

Are you being intentionally cute, speaking about me to me with a generous plural usage?

I ask because of professional curiosity.

[selfequipped]

I'm always cute.
