This is Kyna. You should just text me if you actually want me to answer.

I would never do such a thing.

[But he doesn't even try to say it with a straight face, offering a small smile.]

[evocation]

Bullshit.

[She shoots him a look.]

You're not even sneaky about it.

[lifetothefullest]

Hey, I'm totally sneaky, you're just paying too much attention.

[He usually gets away with pretending things are fine no problem back home, so there.]

[evocation]

Oh my God, no one has ever said that to me before. Write that out and sign it.

[lifetothefullest]

[He can't help but laugh at that.]

I can totally draw up a little certificate for you.

[evocation]

No, that makes me seem like a nut job. I can give you a wizard certificate, though.

[lifetothefullest]

Wow, talk about things that would make someone seem like a 'nut job'.

[Complete with air quotes, because even though he's not going to directly call her on the terminology he can't just ignore it, either.]

[evocation]

[She's the worst so she doesn't even pick up on that minor call out.]

Yeah, I guess you'd seem pretty lame if you had wizard ID card or something when you can just prove it.

[lifetothefullest]

[Alas. This is not really the time to actually point it out or anything, but he likely will in the future if it comes up again.]

True. I could make a little note on my FBI ID, though.

[He is, after all, now basically a magic-wielding cop. How cool is that?]

[evocation]

That's how they do it at home. Mostly. Sort of.

[lifetothefullest]

That statement had a lot of qualifiers.

[evocation]

[She shrugs.]

I mean, magic is pretty powerful. If you're making a focus you usually have to register it or whatever.

[lifetothefullest]

Oh, that makes sense. You're supposed to have a license to carry a gun in my world for the same reason, although people don't exactly follow those rules as often as they should.

[evocation]

[Kyna laughs a little awkwardly.]

Yeah, uh... I totally never registered any of mine.

[lifetothefullest]

I'll just pretend I didn't hear that, because didn't you say you're weren't that practiced with them?

[evocation]

No, not guns. I never registered any of my focuses.

[lifetothefullest]

Oh, good, that means I can genuinely not care about your illegal activities.

[Also, logistically--]

Wouldn't it be really difficult to track that anyway? Since people can just create their own focuses.

[evocation]

Yeah, probably. I don't know, I'm not a cop. And thanks for skipping the stupid lecture.

[lifetothefullest]

No problem; I prefer to save my lecturing energy for more important things, especially here. Besides, it's not like I'm going to be registering mine when we make it, so...

[He can't talk.]

[evocation]

[She grins.]

How does it feel to be a criminal, Lance?

[lifetothefullest]

You ask that like I've never done anything illegal before.

[evocation]

[Now he's got her attention.]

Have you?

[lifetothefullest]

Of course I have. Nothing really serious, and nothing I ever got caught for, but yeah.

[evocation]

[She waggles her eyebrows.]

Spill.

[lifetothefullest]

It's really not that exciting. Most of it was just underage drinking and things like that.

[He may have tried a recreational substance here or there as well, though he certainly didn't make a habit of it.]

Of course, there was also the time that Dr. Brennan was being framed for murder, and I didn't exactly arrest her.

[Which was honestly way more illegal than anything else he did, but he regrets none of it.]
