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

[Kyna laughs, shaking her head.]

Seriously? I thought you'd be more... you know...

[lifetothefullest]

Be more what?

[Explain yourself.]

[evocation]

Professional...?

[lifetothefullest]

[...Okay, fair enough.]

I probably should've been, but the people accusing me were Dr. Brennan and my co-worker, who is now her husband, Agent Booth; we weren't as good of friends as were are now, but we were still friends.

[So he'd been kind of... Upset, about the whole thing.]

And I was also really young still, so I'm just going to blame it mostly on that.

[evocation]

No, that's bullshit. I'd be pissed, too.

[lifetothefullest]

It's okay. Everything worked out, except for that another friend of ours really was the person we were looking for.

[Which was... Not great, and only Lance knows that Zack didn't actually murder anyone, but he can't say so due to confidentiality.

So, moving on--]

What about you? Aside from not registering your focuses and some trespassing you told me about, any other crimes I should know about?

[evocation]

Uh...

[Well, that's actually kind of a hard question to answer.]

Probably theft, technically? And... I don't know. It depends.

[lifetothefullest]

Wow, and you said my answer was boring.

[evocation]

God, I don't know. Okay, we've probably stolen something on a lot of our jobs.

[Leave her alone, Lance!]

[lifetothefullest]

[Absolutely not.]

'Something' like a useful item left lying around, or 'something' like a fancy car?

[He's not really bothered by stealing on the grand scheme of things, but there are definitely different levels of it.]

[evocation]

Something like... useful shit, yeah. Or a magical item that the douchebag who has it probably shouldn't be trusted with.

[She lets out a little huff.]

Don't give me that look.

[lifetothefullest]

I'm not giving a look.

[...Or okay, he is giving a look, but it's not meant to be a bad look.]

I mean, I really don't care about stealing anything, as long as no one's getting hurt. Especially not the sort of thing you're talking about.

[evocation]

Yeah, well, it would have been funnier if you stole a car or something.

[lifetothefullest]

I've never had reason to steal a car.

[But he's looking at her a little more seriously now.]

Is there something wrong?

[He didn't mean to upset her to end up on a sensitive topic or anything.]

[evocation]

No.

[That was a little too insistent. She tries again.]

No. I just don't want you to think I'm a giant asshole or something.

[lifetothefullest]

I don't think that.

[He says it without hesitation, and it's genuine.]

It'd take a lot worse than some theft.

[evocation]

[Yeah, that was definitely genuine, and it makes her a little squirmy. Very maturely, she blows a raspberry.]

Yeah, duh. Because I'm awesome.

[lifetothefullest]

[He laughs a little, letting her get away with the deflection. The important point has been made, after all.]

Sure. That's totally why.

[But even though he says it in a sarcastic, teasing manner, it's still genuine too. She is pretty awesome, after all.]

[evocation]

[Thank God. She relaxes.]

You're pretty cool too. Maybe someday you'll even be as cool as me.
