"Not even to pick locks?" Caspar asks with a subtle dryness that suggests he isn't being serious. He knows that there are better tools for lock-picking.
He finishes off the braid and skillfully secures the end of it with a couple of bobby pins, then looks up to meet Amelia's approving gaze. He doesn't have to ask how he did, and there is a hint of pride in his expression. Yes, he knows he's good at this. But there is no way he'd ever do this professionally, not for all the money in the world. Touching people's hair? Human hair that has god-knows-what kind of product in it, or worse, unwashed? Ugh, no thanks.
"I'm going to see what it looks like," Adia says excitedly, before hopping out of her seat and going into the bathroom. This is a miracle in and of itself, as she is not one to voluntarily seek out a mirror, but she had no idea Caspar was so good at hair-braiding and she wants to see what the fuss is all about.
Caspar watches her -- from his seat, he can see enough into the bathroom to observe her checking out her reflection, turning her head this way and that and admiring the braid crown on her head. "I'm only good at it because I can see what you're doing," he tells Amelia plainly. "I won't be able to make my own styles, I'm not creative enough for that."
The advantage and disadvantage of his Cylon nature, summed up in two sentences.
