As your excellent friend, I must inform you that I'm offended by your lackluster interest. 🥺

[The cursed emoji means he's joking...mostly...]

His name is Matt. Do you know him? He dabbles in spellwork, and I've been helping him practice a few times a week.

[Which is only partially a lie.]

[takeroot]

I have not once asked for a numbered list of everyone you've had an encounter with, in my defense.

In any case, I am so very glad I needn't question how Matt from Security could ever be attractive enough to catch your eye.

[No Offense To Security Matt]

I have met him, though. He's very sweet!

[reznikolai]

He works at the Embassy? He never mentioned that to me.

[Nikolai hasn't seen Matt there, but he and Constantin do work in very different wings of the sprawling government building.]

He's rather skinny for a security guard, but I suppose his spells come in handy. He specializes in protective wards.

He IS sweet, and I'm afraid we have strikingly different tastes because he's very adorable as well.

[takeroot]

Did you hit your head? What are you talking about?

There are two people named Matt, Nikolai.

[But only two, probably.]

We do have strikingly different tastes, but Matt-who-is-a-witch-of-some-kind may be a rare exception.

[reznikolai]

[...Oh. He reads back over Constantin's last text and realizes his mistake. How embarrassing.]

Can I blame it on my present state of euphoria? Honestly, why in the world would you mention this other fellow who, apparently, is nowhere near handsome enough for either of us?

In any case, now that we're on the same page... Would Matt happen to be someone you've "dabbled" with?

[takeroot]

Because

You know, never mind. Poor Matt from Security has had enough.

[From, evidently, just Constantin, a big mean girl, oops. Sorry bud!]

Matt and I have kissed, yes.

[reznikolai]

I shall include him in my prayers tonight. Or I would, if I were in the habit of praying.

One of these days we will run out of similarities to discover.

[As an afterthought:]

That isn't awkward and uncomfortable, is it?

[takeroot]

I will anonymously send him a card at work.

[No, this would be worse. Never mind it all.]

Should it be? Kissing a man on the beach does not make us somehow beholden to one another, so no, I think not.

[reznikolai]

No, I didn't think so, but I wanted to be sure. I do value your friendship, as I may have mentioned a few times before. 🤠

[takeroot]

Yes I have heard something like that! But it never hurts to hear it again.

[fwends... kya]

[reznikolai]

Well, that is all the URGENT news I had. For the rest, you'll have to wait until lunch tomorrow. 😏
