...My doppleganger's 'bout to become your new favorite person.
[Guess what Feints are also good for: cleaning a whole room so you don't have to lift a finger. Griffin doesn't even get up, but Griffin #2's already collecting the clothing scraps and hair.

[and he steps away, before collapsing back into a chair, kicking his feet up.
