That caption might be the first thing read. We don't want to suggest the character type's powers of detection are anything but strong. So I think that caption is suboptimal.

I think the image works quite well as-is.

[up] Did you read the hottip?

I wouldn't mind the hottipped caption.

Yep, but we can't count on folks opening a hottip.

Maybe we could make it small-text?

Why do we need to separate the second part at all?

I'm fine captionless.

Rhymes with "Protracted."

[up][up] The second part is longer, so I figured I'd suggest putting it in hot-tip to counteract that. However, I since gave up that idea in favour of making this caption's text smaller than our usual caption text.

On second thought, we can sidestep this whole thing by just leaving the image without a caption, it doesn't particularly need one anyway.

Eh, let's go ahead and lock this...if someone wants to put up a caption later on, they can have fun.
