[ After dark is just fine, predictably, reply swift; ]

Oh hey, [ brightly. ] What's cooking, good looking?

Yeah, I was never big on bedtime.

[ There's the dim sounds of activity, things being put down, a drawer rattle. ]

Pretty well. Only one assassination attempt, one skeleton murder army, so I think statistically we're in the clear for another couple of months. What's new with you?

[ Those sounds continue, quiet, without interrupting the actual flow of conversation. ]

Material?

Okay. Hey, good to know. Confirmation.

[ :grimacing: ]

What about records?

Yeah, it's not the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow.

[ Which is definitely like what going to Weisshaupt undercover and in fear of your life is like. ]

No.

[ —is probably not wholly his call to make, in the scheme of things, but comes immediate and sure. ]

No, I think you come home, is the next move.

Sure. You don't keep sticking it in after you take a temperature.

[personal profile] propulsion 2022-01-01 05:22 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah, well.

[ But he can't just dismiss that. There's a clatter of some lightweight thing dropped, rolling, the squeak of furniture. ]

What does tying it in a bow look like?

Poking around dusty tomes that can't tell you is one thing. Active spywork's something else. Puts a target on your back.

No, but the likelihood is. When people are keeping their trap shut, what happens to people who become people who hear stuff?

[ Thunk, something set down, heavy. ]
