[There's the temptation to make fun of him calling it the thing, but honestly, delight and affection wins out in the moment.]

I love it! Thank you, Alec.

[helical]

[ preens at his phone a little!!! ]

i'll need your help picking something out for max at some point.

[lushly]

As much as I'd love to see him, I don't think the reps would bring him here.

[helical]

i mean

something to take back to him.

[lushly]

Alec, I really don't want to stunt this gift-giving mood, but do you think it's safe to take anything back?

[helical]

i asked myself that but they give you those beads to take back with you or give to someone from another world if you want.

[lushly]

I know. I mean more our world, and what people might do if they found out about this place.

[helical]

right. he's obviously going to babble.

[lushly]

Max can't even lie properly about his rune studies. I'm not saying he wouldn't try, but you know it's too much to risk.

[helical]

and i probably shouldn't make him feel rewarded by giving him a gift after he nearly burned down the mumbai institute.

[lushly]

Well, personally I think we should support his natural talents, but I'm sure you'll disagree with me.

[helical]

not when his natural talents include potential arson.

[lushly]

It's not arson if it's aimed at the right target.

[helical]

he needs to learn all his runes before you encourage him to throw fire at things.

[lushly]

So he can throw more than fire? You're absolutely right.

[helical]

don't twist my words.

[lushly]

But you make it so easy, big brother.

[helical]

don't make me take that phone case back.

[lushly]

You'll never pry it away from me.

[helical]

i should have told you that's a gift for pre-emptive good behavior and doing the dishes for a week.

[lushly]

Maybe, but I wouldn't have believed you.

[helical]

of course not.
