(That's perfectly fine Bright. Inspiration and desires come and go: thanks for being up front about it.)<br/><br/>[Marc Dioceco and Ms. Phillipson]<br/><br/>Ms. Phillipson met his eyes calmly as he addressed her, her face perfectly neutral. A sign of great bodily control, to hold a blank expression like that... but a peace offering for a particularly high level spy. Letting him see her above average self control, rather than trying to hide it.<br/><br/>If she was a spy. Some just naturally had blank facial expressions. At the very least, she seemed to be listening closely to his words. Ms. Phillipson glanced down at the offered book, looking over it's title and bindings.<br/><br/>"I do find it impressive that the President would include such protections on the licences, which speaks well of your legitimacy. Keeping the source of such protections secret is simply another layer of security. On the other hand..."<br/><br/>Idly she spun her own licence around her wrist. "It seems inefficient. If magic provides such protections and benefits, why does the world at large rely on technology instead of magic? I do not think I would like to use magic on my students: such would be the sign of a poor teacher, if one could not get their class to pay attention on their own."<br/><br/>(Idea Marc! How about one of Ms. Phil's students is actually a regular customer of Marc's, and she pops in while they are talking. She seems to be having trouble, so Ms. Phil follows her when she leaves... maybe even inviting Marc along, or he follows on his own? Could be a bullying/mugging setup...)
