( If it's not your sister gallivanting Elaine-knows-where, it's you being a workaholic. Well, I'm here, aren't I? Cheeky. Come down and mingle, Ren. Ma. Please. I'm good. So. Who is this new protege of Aunt Tala's anyway? Brianna Lopez, Changeling. She's in the same blade as Neeka Zobel de Ayala's apo. )
Tossing his mother a knowing smile. Her bottlecap charm ( a throwback from his childhood, and something to remember Alistair Mordechai fondly by ) had gone missing from it's place on their display shelf and he'd seen that, asked about it and hadn't needed to twist her arm about how she'd passed it on to someone who she thought needed it more than she did now.
When she tosses him a smug smile right back, he blinks.
( What? Behind you. Go play nice. )
Breaking off Mindspeech to cast a glance over his shoulder.
