Ah, I see. Do you often meet people who do make a big deal about it?

Feeling the need to mention that 'breathing is a great thing'... is making a big deal about it.

[So, yes.]

Alright, good point. I just don't often hear it referred to as not exciting, I guess that's what prompted it. Usually, I don't think about it either.

Name one thing that's "exciting" about something that's automatic?

[Because in his mind, if it's automatic, it can't be exciting.]

It works. Isn't that exciting?

Ah. Noooo.

[Seriously, his expression says it all.]

*Having expected that, Julian just grins.*

Okay. What is exciting, then?

My work. It's the only thing that matters.

[He's married to it and it's his drug of choice.]

Oh? What kind of work is that?

[He loves this bit. Okay he just likes showing off.]

I'm a consulting detective. The only one in the world. I invented the job.

O-kay ... and what exactly does a consulting detective do?

*He doesn't mind playing along. Getting by with random jobs, he's really curious what makes people passionate about their work.*

ooc: Have to get some sleep now, but I'm up for tagging tomorrow. :)

[He smiles.]

When the police are out of their depth - which is always - they consult me.

{{OOC: I would love to continue this thread! Sleep well! Also, please excuse the direct quotes from telly, but I think this is the only way he answers these questions. XD}}

So you do police work they cannot do? What, for example?

ooc: Oh, that's fine. I'm not very familiar with the series, although I think I have to watch it again now. ;)

It is the same principle as a private detective. Only, I help police solve crimes. Those crimes usually involve a dead body or two.

ooc: hurray for enabling XD

Wow. Hadn't thought they did that, work with non-police people. And are you successful often?

They make a exception with me.

[Which actually should answer both questions.

That's impressive, I have to admit. And it's a really good thing to dedicate your time to.

[He raises an eyebrow.]

What else would I spend my time on, humm? Everything else is utterly boring.

[No, he's not kidding.]

*This gets him an incredulous look.* Everything, really? You mean job-wise?

No. I mean everything. The only time I'm entertained is when I have a case.

So ... movies or a good book don't work for you? Or traveling, meeting people? What do you do in your free time, then?

[A small smile appears.]

You don't want to know. We'll leave it at: it's best if I don't have free time.

Yeah, that's something I can understand. Although I'm not sure if I should be worried now.

Why would you be worried? You have given me no reason to harm you.

I didn't suspect so. But obviously you do have free time right now, and I'm rather boring.
