"So do you do something other than creep about in your free time? Maybe catch a football match?" Sean asked. "Or is it all cryptic statements all the time?"
"That doesn't sound ominous at all," Sean said with a brittle smile, "So you spend all day and all night doing research? Sounds like you lead quite the life of excitement."
