[And hey look, it's a clock! You know, that walking and talking clock you all know, love, and some tolerate. He sniffs, holding up a piece of paper.]

Greetings, all. I am Cogsworth, for those who do not know me. For those who do, I am alive ... [a roll of the eyes] so to speak, and I am making this announcement so you know I have not been kidnapped or held against my will or have become an ... inanimate object in which will never change and never enjoy the feeling of flesh ever again -

[He cuts himself off.]

Anyways. That is all. Still Captain, still alive, still here.

This isn't like you.

[This is so vastly different to the Cogsworth he knows. A man who would pretty much constantly put on that British stiff upper lip. Certainly, they had their disagreements, but it was never like this. Not even in the darkest days of the curse was Cogsworth like this. He'd just busy himself with something around the castle and get on with it. He played his emotions close to his chest at all times.

He almost wonders if Atroma had done something to him while he was asleep. He hates this. It's like talking to a stranger and he has no idea how to handle it. ]

Fine. Take all the time you need. I'll leave you alone.

[Cogsworth sucks in a deep breath, before he stated simply.]

What isn't like me?

[He taps his little brass hands together, frowning.]

[Everything. ]

This. All of this. I've never known you to be so vocal about your emotions. What happened to 'suave and genteel?' Not making a scene? You're acting like you'll never see the light of day again. You know the curse will lift eventually, I saw you back home. You were there. I've told you this. Twice. Just because Atroma have not sent you there yet means nothing about you, it is just their way- making things happen for the drama. Something else I have told you. Many times. You're reacting just as they would want you to.

[Like the Master having an angsty temper tantrum. ]

I never thought I would be the one telling you, of all people, that you need to calm down.

[If you think a clock cannot emote, then you have never seen Cogsworth. The variety of different emotions that came over his small face was impressive indeed. Finally - he sucked in a breath - and stated with more calm than he thought possible.]

I will calm down when you admit that you are being something of a insensitive clod about the whole thing.
