Sometimes I use this space purely for off-the-cuff musing about the cast. Will you put up with me doing it once more?

All righty. Pull up a chair then. Put your feet up.

I've recently expounded on Emmet's rather measly two-level attempts at directing people's attention away from the "earth-shattering secret" he's hiding—said secret being that he's discovered time travel, of course.

So it's fitting that the Omegas show Emmet up from every angle he'd care about. Not only has their race perfected time travel to the degree that their entire planet sits "above" the timesteam, allowing them to warp and weave it as they will, but if you happen to meet one of them they will be nothing like what they appear (and you'll probably be in very big trouble).

Take Inigo, for example. In his mind, he believes he is an aging lawman who's occasionally on the outs with the missus. She's rather more headstrong than he is, so instead of submitting to sleeping in the barn he chooses to cool his heels in one of the towns on the other side of the river. People there know his face but don't pry into his business too much.

But don't get him wrong. Even though he plays hooky he never exhibits an ounce of infidelity. She's still his pearl and he loves her no less than the day they got engaged—nor does he think she's a mote less beautiful. Eventually he pisses or gambles away the money in his pocket, reluctantly sobers up and slinks on home to apologize for once again being an incorrigible old fool. And she takes him back like she always does because even though he's a fool, he is her fool, and he knows full well there ain't no woman this side of the Pecos who'd have him as gladly.

Inigo can believe that story very easily because it's more or less all true.

He is a "law enforcer", and he's partnered with someone with whom he sees essentially nothing eye-to-eye, but their relationship can weather worse storms than he can think up. Even so, he spends an awful lot of time at work, and when he's not at work she's not entirely sure where he goes. It's become simpler not to ask.

He's as easygoing as he seems, at least in terms of his outward demeanor. The door to his office is always open. He imparts his wisdom via copious anecdotes, liberally sprinkled with folksy witticisms and bad puns.

If he notices you came back from a mission looking a little banged up, he'll gladly set aside time up in the Training Tunnels to show you a few pointers. But be warned: don't think he'll go easy on you just because he's an old man.

You'd get that from looking at him, wouldn't you? Emmet could learn a pointer or two from Inigo as well. If you want to hide in plain sight, it's as easy as being yourself. Just mix it up a little.

(And I'm sure both his imaginary and real partners would be equally peeved to see him with his spurs on his desk. Get those off there! You're putting scratches in it!)
