[Was it that obvious? It can't have been that obvious. Jon frowns at the message. What if he just... doesn't answer the question? Tim thinks he's a dick. That might be able to carry him through to assumptions.]

Why would I send you a magic kit, Tim?

[alwayskayaking]

No idea. Did Martin send me one? [But Martin would have left a card. Wouldn't he? The goth maybe? Why would he be sending Tim gifts?] There was one here when I got home and not many people know where I live yet.

[compellingstatement]

[Should he... not know... where Tim lives?]

There's a registry for LIEs participants.
Maybe you impressed someone.

[alwayskayaking]

[Tim doesn't see why Jon has any reason to lie about this so he believes him.] I guess so? In that case maybe it was Dorian. [Trying to get in good with someone connected to the institute.]

[compellingstatement]

[Ugh...]

Maybe.
He doesn't have a Dom last time I checked, though.
He might have had trouble making a purchase.

Do you like it, at least?
The kit.

[alwayskayaking]

I like that it wasn't a bomb or a box filled with bugs or a bunch of paperwork and tapes inside of it.

The tricks listed in here don't seem to hard. I'll have to use you as a guinie pig once I think I've gotten the hang of some of them. [So that will be a yes. As he's already trying to practice between text messages.] Just you wait. I'm going to make you into a very rich man with all the coins I'm going to pull out of your ears.

[compellingstatement]

You do realize Martin's the one who would be actually charmed by that?

[alwayskayaking]

Of course. Which means if I can charm you I should be able to charm anyone.

[compellingstatement]

I was your boss Tim.
It's illegal for me to find you charming.

[It's no such thing.]

[alwayskayaking]

Pretty sure the archives didn't have any rules about interoffice romances and therefore not illegal. Besides everyone finds me charming!

[compellingstatement]

You have an excessive amount of ego.
Enjoy your magic tricks, Tim.

[alwayskayaking]

I had to make up for the lack that was around the office.

Thanks. I think I will.
