Wong takes great pleasure in dropping Stephen down a peg or two. He’s not sure how good of a teacher he’d be, but he’s willing to answer any questions she has on the subject.

Then tell me what I’d find there.

… What kind of creature?7

That’s something he can help her with. Knowledge is his specialty. That’s why he was given the library to look after, before he became the Sorcerer Supreme.

Of course it does. Do you know how to send it back?

This is why I always worry when it’s too quiet. I’ll be right there.

He’s got some recommendations for her. Things she’ll find interesting, and maybe a thing or two she could learn before Stephen.

You owe me. That is at least three eyes too many for a Monday.

Don’t tempt him… He’s got no reason not to trust her, and he doesn’t anticipate finding one any time soon.

She might not have *meant* to tempt him, but… He’s much the same way. He’s proud of what he’s accomplished, but he never set out to find more power. Protecting the world has never been a competition to him.

His annoyance will be aimed at Wong, not her. He wouldn’t do that to her. It’s a guilty pleasure of his that Stephen can NEVER find out about. He has a reputation to uphold.

This is why she’s his new favorite. They can have the marathons at the sanctum, while everyone else is busy training.

Time to schedule another marathon with his new best friend. Yes, he means @NotANiteNurse, and NOT a certain spying sorcerer.

And if that other sorcerer gets any ideas about astral projection, Wong will gladly send him right back to his body. Painfully. It sounds like a good plan to him.

It won’t cause any lasting damage. It will just teach him an apparently much needed lesson on manners. Of course! Only the best for what’s sure to become a favorite tradition.

That’s what he gets for spying on them.

Tuesdays work for him. Alternating locations? She can send him to Wong, but he’ll receive no sympathy.

Would he feel better if he was invited next time?

Perfect. Something to look forward to! He’s more likely to find extra work, which he would deserve.

(He wasn’t going to be invited even if he’d said yes.) He’s not allowed to judge their quality comedy shows.
