[Steven, for those who recognize him, looks... well. Just a little different. There's a touch of grey at his temples now, the thin white line of a scar on the back of one of his hands--and given that he's currently polishing his glasses in front of the camera, it's not too hard to spot said scar.

He's in someone's cozy kitchen--but definitely not Jack's. As he polishes, he muses out loud,]

You know, I think besides all the missing work, the most irritating part of it all is that my prescription's now six years out of date.

[He replaces said glasses on his face.]

Well. At least the Tower offers Vision and Dental.

[Hi. Guess who got updated?]

Jules. I might be vain, but I'm not that vain. I happen to think it looks distinguished, thank you very much.

[failgoyle]

Yes! Distinguished! And not, like, halfway to an AARP membership! Distinguished!

[He is trying. He is failing. He's very good at this.]

[fingersandteeth]

[That gets another eye roll from Steven.]

I'm fairly certain you're not at all qualified to pass judgement on these things, given how painfully straight you are, Jules.

[failgoyle]

[Jules opens his mouth as though to protest and then closes it again.]

Well, yeah. That's...yeah, okay.

[fingersandteeth]

I've already been assured by someone who is interested in men that they don't detract from my appearance at all.

[failgoyle]

Oh, that's good. Expert opinions are always nice.

[fingersandteeth]

Yes. They are.
