[Being in a new world is cool and all, but also sucks when everything you see is still a shade of red. Figures that the first time he's away in some new place he can't fully appreciate it, although, maybe he doesn't want to considering that stupid but truthful parchment he got referencing an incident that he's not exactly proud of.

How do they even know??

So excitement is honestly at an all time low and he's also sort of angry?? And the best thing to do when you're angry is clearly use this charm device and just say dumb shit--]

so who else is a freak here

[...Yeah, you're telling him. He manages to hold back that particular sarcastic retort, but Scott feels a slight resurgence of his earlier annoyance.]

Someday, huh? Not gonna give me some great wise tips right now? [Okay he's not holding back the attitude now.]

[fluorite]

[ That just makes him laugh. ]

I can't air out all of my secrets when just anyone could listen in, can I?

[ He'd really like to avoid people putting the pieces together on how powerful he is. Wouldn't want to be asked to actually use his magic, after all. ]

[laserguy]

[. . .]

Oh fuck you think they're listening in on our conversation right now?

[He didn't really think about that. Too busy being an angry dumbass.]

[fluorite]

Well, anything is possible. I don't really trust things like this to be secure.

[ He has no clue when it comes to most technology, honestly, and he can't take this charm apart and figure out the magic in it, if there is any. ]

[laserguy]

They gave us these charms and I have no idea how they work, so it's totally possible they're listening in right now.

[The only reason why he's not fully panicking is because they already seem to know things about him, if the parchment is anything to go by. Scott doesn't have much else going on for him otherwise.]

Hey assholes, stop listening in our conversation!

[A part of Scott knows that isn't going to help with anything, but he sure feels better about it.]

[fluorite]

[ That just makes Fai laugh. ]

That's the spirit! Let them know who's boss here!

[ It's too bad one of his own kids isn't likely to give into this kind of behavior... it's fun. ]

Don't worry. I'm sure we'll have plenty of time to go over abilities and how to use them in person. No need for these charms to discuss that.

[laserguy]

[Scott finds himself grinning despite everything, glad that Fai just went along with it.]

I guess we can meet up sometime.

[Since Fai isn't a total loser and all-]

Scott Summers, if we're gonna see each other at some point. [And he definitely feels better knowing someone in this world, instead of none. Less lonely and all that, not that he'll say that much.]

[fluorite]

Fai D. Flowright! Though just "Fai" is fine.

[ He's well aware that his name is pretty long. ]

I'm sure I'll see you around soon, Scott. Take care.
