"Normally people talk to me because they want something. That is my job."
---
"I guess so."
----
"Who are you?"

"Well, I guess I want.. to talk. I don't like talking to Matthew and Sparrow just scolds me all the time. It gets on my nerves." He straightens his collar.
--
"How are you enjoying your stay so far?" She sits.
--
Staaaaaare.
Angie squints. "I don't know him."
"That's Mister List. Clancey List." A voice from the other side of the room and a puff of cigar smoke.

"Oh. I'm sorry to hear that."
---
"It is quiet."
---
"What the hell is going on?" Stephen shifts his gun to the empty space, to spooky List and back and he moves closer to Angie.

"It's all riiight. I just hate feeling like I have to impress everyone all the time." SIGH.
--
"Do you like that?"
--
Angie.. squints some more. She groans. "Great."
The other voice is coming from Nat. He's lounging on the arm of a chair with a cigar in his hand. He's wearing a bowler hat and his clothes look like they aren't fitting very well. He's a little taller than before, and starting to look a bit gangly. "Hello there."
List doesn't move at all.

"Do you know these people?"

"Ugh, don't be. So what's new? Sparrow says you're depressed."
--
"How is Angie settling in?"
--
"I know him. He's Roderick's tutor."
"Nathaniel. It's a pleasure, sir."

"..She does?"
--
"I don't think she's as happy here."
---
"Stephen. ...Should I be shooting them?"

"Yeah, she does."
--
"No?" Liz blinks. "Why not?"
--
"Er.. I'm not sure. Why are you here? Who's this guy?" She gestures at List.
"I told you. That's Mr. List. We're here toooo.. Mmm.." He looks towards the ceiling and thinks.

"I'm not sure. She doesn't seem happy."
---
"This sort of entrance usually results in some shooting."

"So are you?"
--
"Hmmm." She taps her chin with the pen.
--
Angie scoots behind Stephen.
"Oh, I hope not. We're not armed." He shows his hands. "We're here to intimidate you. Mr. List!"
List reaches ever so slowly over.. and knocks a painting off the wall.

"It's not right to talk about."
---
"What do you think?"
---
"Now that's just rude."

"Why not?"
--
"I don't know. A lot's been going on, though.. Maybe she just needs someone to talk to."
--
"That was rude. This isn't my house, you know." She frowns.
"I know. We tried there first, but you never showed. It took quite a while to track you down."
Mr. List glances down at the fallen painting.

"Maybe."

"Could someone just explain what's going on?"

"It isn't your place.. to talk about your own feelings?"
--
"I'm sure she'll be fine."
--
Frown. "I guess Darren's upset?"
"Oh, he's pretty upset. We're supposed to tell you that, too." Puff.
List carefully hangs the painting back up.

"Right."

"I hope so."

Stephen is very confused.
