Cal has a new book.
This one is different from the others. He didn't choose it to learn something about someone else, or someone else's world. He didn't choose it at all. Bar gave it to him, about two hours ago, and he's reading it with a deeper level of absorption than he's ever had with any book.
It's an autobiography. The author is one Calvin Chandler, Junior.
He's been reading for so long that his head and vision are swimming. He may not want a distraction, but he needs one before he gives himself a headache.

"It's not your fault, though."
no subject
He falls silent for a moment, thinking of the talk he had just a little while ago with Nathan Petrelli. Nathan's circumstances are eerily similar to his. Killed trying to do the right thing, stuck now in Milliways knowing he won't see his children again.
"Being dead here really sucks."

Ba-dum-chssh. What, Cal thought he had the monopoly on terrible jokes?
He twists Cal's hair gently in his fingers.
no subject
"That was terrible," he mutters.

So there, Cal Chandler!

"Okay. If you insist."
The occasional graceful concession never hurt anyone.
Also, one has to be in a specific kind of mood to be ready to go countless rounds of Preschool Debate. Cal is not in it right now.

Gently, "Pillock."
no subject
"What'd I do now?"
There's usually at least logical context for the friendly name-calling.
no subject
"What, I need an excuse to call you a pillock, now?"
no subject
It's not quite as hard to keep the smirk down as it usually is. By which the narrative means that he actually manages to do it.

"...Well, yes, that too."

Beat.
"I'm flexible."

". . . I'm sure you are."
Neutral tone is neutral.
(This means it is neither approving nor disapproving.)

Those muscles probably won't, though. Alas.
no subject
It's been long enough since he's done that that he figures it's the most unpredictable response.
no subject
...What?
no subject
Yes, saliva from someone you've made out with before can still be disgusting. It's all about context.
no subject
"You've changed your tune."
