    [text]: Hey.    [text]: Miss you too.    [text]: when're you back in town? The plants are starting to die without you here.

        “I confess t’ nothin’.”    Because you look totally not guilty, LeBeau.

ooc } that will be a really tragic scenario. because eldon loves him, too. and he'd be like "i love you too that's why I'M trying to kill you instead of getting someone else to do it and having you wind up like dr. lussac." eldon you're going to wind up in a mental hospital i swear to god 

ooc } well i mean he'll at least attempt to. he wouldn't want hannibal to do it because he cares about herc, and that would probably be what fails him--christ's sake, eldon's a cripple. herc could probably just swipe his leg out from under him. 

ooc } poor eldon. forced to participate in child-rearing when he's not ready. he'd probably be so awkward omfg -- and also herc is safe as long as he doesn't go all "WE MUST FIND OUT WHO KILLED HER". since i'm pretty sure her corpse is somewhere in Hong Kong in Chesapeake Ripper style display, thus likely in the papers. and then he'll get super antsy and evasive and reclusive until herc gets too close to finding out the truth, then probably attempt murder. maybe. idk. 

ooc } i'm at least 100% sure that only 30% of the time eldon as a father is cute. the rest of the time it's him trying to avoid the child and brooding about being talked in to adopting and reading every fatherhood book on the planet while he sits all hermited up in his lab contemplating the million ways he could fuck up the kid's life

"It . . . miiiiight have been me?" Christopher shrugged, looking more than a little amused and more than a little guilty. "Oh, come on now, don't look so serious. It was all in good fun!"

ooc } CLEARLY THIS IS GOING TO BE AN ADVENTURE, THEN.
