It's a common occurrence in weak, insecure people. 'Magic' has become a word for something they don't understand, and by clinging to that 'science equals magic' fairy story they comfort themselves in an assurance that they are capable of everything, that they are not unequal in power, just slower at unlocking secrets. When the truth is: they are, indeed, lacking. He's third on my list of sacrifices to the dark should we need one. And if any of you comms bastards are hacking this conversation, try handling SEC's horseshit idea of safety before bothering me about it.

only third? who is the second

[ He knows the first. ]

I prefer to keep some air of mystery, at least.

[ Black
Edgeworth
That Guy Saying Mages Should Be Contained
Lupin
Tie between Whoever That Vampire Is and Werewolf That Transformed In A Lift
Summers
Bloke Who Set Fire To A Bar

Tyke's not actually that bad just misguided so she doesn't rank ]

fair enough

Was that the only occasion?

re texting? yes. I was catching up on n/work while I watch labradors terrorise local flora

You're getting one. Try to look surprised.

[ Yesss. Charles opts not to text yesss to Severus Snape. ]

! the forewarning's appreciated delightful as they are

Honestly I'd vote for all three elsewhere. [ He thinks maybe not if it would make Claire genuinely sad, but he's not sure if she's more comforted or stressed out by the damn things. ] You've sold yourself as responsible and enthusiastic, congratulations.

and you didn't convince her otherwise so as to be rid of at least one of them, obviously

Claire asked and I said I thought you'd be fine with one.

ah I appreciate it

[ Minutes tick by.

:| ]

I know you bloody looked, by the way.

look I didn't go searching deliberately you were on her mind

[ If he knew where to find the tilde button, he'd employ it. ]

Arsehole.

[ This would be more effective if.. it was effective. Or if Severus were actually mad (about this) and not just exasperated. ]

I apologised to her you can share it if you must and on the bright side I won't be making any more smart remarks about William

Bullshit aside - the impossibility of that was over him being a prick, not being in possession of one. For the record.

duly noted and nicely put I know how that one goes

[ Enter gets hit after about forty seconds of hesitation. Ah, well. ]

new development?

Which?

[ Claire, or William being a prick. ]

prick-status you've been friendly with Claire for a bit which doesn't take a psychic

[ And yet it did anyway. ]

Cumulative. I'm tired of it.

[ look ]

I can see how that might happen

[ Because honestly half of his bafflement about William was that William was so William, as well as a bloke.

Of course, Claire is very Claire, but. Maybe a good point of difference. ]

He's fine at his job.

[ So not a fallout worthy of throwing him under the bus. ]

does he know? not that he is fine at his job that he's been a tosser

I don't know. He doesn't listen. He has an imaginary idea of who I am in his head.
