My followers shall not go unnoticed, as they see my work as it truly is: the art of life.

If I were Dan I would bite your fingers off like they were baby carrots

"Daniel does not subscribe to cannibalism. Nor does he have such aggression toward me that he would feel compelled to bite off my extremities. What a ridiculous notion. However, I will admit you have succeeded in making me uncomfortable."

"So I do think you deserve to be shot with a gun. And I can help with that." Said as innocuously as if they've just mentioned something mildly interesting about the weather. // Unprompted, Sass is just like this

Herbert offers them an extremely unimpressed look. "Well, would you wait until my shift is over at the very least? We're understaffed, and a bullet would be preferable to dealing with Miller."

(Abigail) It wasn’t often that Herbert saw Abigail on the small piano in her apartment, she scheduled time for them to meet and she thought he didn't want to hear that racket when his mind was on science. But this time, she got caught up in Rachmaninoff's Vocalise, Op. 34, No. 14. Humming along to the notes she played, letting it all fade away around her. In another life, this is what she could've been, if she looked up to someone else. If she wasn't so desperate to please him so young, didn't catch the same bug Herbert did as a child.

Herbert let himself in, as he had recently become accustomed to doing. He didn't knock. He didn't call out in greeting. He just silently stalked through the apartment, following the music from the living room. Watching her play was something of a conflicting experience for him. He had seen her play before, years ago, when she was small and still learning. She'd never been able to do anything this complicated. He never told her, but he actually found he enjoyed listening to her through the floorboards in the lab when she practiced. Now, he made no move to interrupt her for as long as she played.

Explodes you in my mind but in a good way

😶 Adult Abby quietly leans against Herbert.

Herbert doesn't say anything, but he also doesn't push her away. It's...nice. Sometimes. The physical affection. He knows it means a lot coming from Abby as well. Unlike when she was younger, Herbert doesn't hug or hold her much. Touch has become even more difficult for him over the years, although he never stops to analyze why that is. Ever so slightly, he bumps her back with his elbow - a show of affection.

Herbert is a little surprised. Not that he hasn't seen physical affection from her prior to this moment, but it was usually reserved for Dan. Herbert isn't really the touching type. His arms are lifted up, hands hovering awkwardly anywhere but near her. Slowly he lowers them and gently pats her on the back. "It's...all right," he mumbles.

Rate Daniel Cain. RN.

"This is a bit of a foolish question. Since there is no scale, a rating would be irrelevant beyond ensuring you that he ranks higher than anyone else. He is my assistant, after all. Why would I allow him to work with me if I thought any less?"
