I love your description of Murphy's uncertainty as an incomplete scale. Not only does it evoke the Irish accent, but it also references Paul's classical music love. And I adore the way you're having Smecker deal with his symptoms. He's so scientifically pathological about how he tracks the changes. Rational neurosis.
*glee* Thank you. It's ridiculously fun to do this to Paul; vampirism (or varieties thereof) is apparently not all that different from other things that are outside his scope of reference. He just attacks them with the tools he knows, however useless that is... :P
The Murphy-voice thing just seemed to work. The Irish accent really does have a musical lilt to it; I think Smecker probably just enjoys listening to them talk some of the time.
