Maaaaaatt isn't supposed to talk to Prospero.

It was probably at least implicit that he also wasn't supposed to look for Prospero, or to come hang out at Milliways for way longer than he usually might with magical paraphernalia sitting around.

... Look, it also works for running into Ronan! Which he also wants to do! This right here is multitasking.

Multitasking that has just moved over by the Observation Window!

That resonates with Matt too.

A lot, as it happens. He finds himself thinking back to conversations with Nita.

(and you want to help people

I think I want to try)

"I think it's a large part," Matt agrees thoughtfully.

He glances at Prospero curiously. "Too late ...?"

"I am made of time," Matt assures him.

"Around here, anyway."

Matt listens curiously, with only a flicker of a glance to the staff. (Call it professional interest.)

"How did you start?" he asks.

"Is it ... accepted, where you're from, for people to have power like that?"

... Oh, right! This is a dukedom-challenge story. Matt remembers that, sort of.

He nods.

"Okay." Still unsure about if it's cool to be out and magical in his whenwhere, but Matt wants to listen a little more before asking anything else.

For the liberal arts without a parallel, huh?

He's clearly not suffering in the public relations department.

Or ... he wouldn't be. If it weren't for his brother. Apparently.

(Matt kind of hopes KR takes over his life one day. She'd be good at it, assuming the magic didn't freak her out.

Okay, scratch that. He's doing all right for himself.)

"So ... what did he do, exactly?"

Matt's expression, meanwhile, sharpens-- in alarm.

"Oh, snap."

It's one thing to want a little recognition for all the hard work you're doing while your brother gets his bookworm on. But extirpation is a whole other ballgame.

"Oh my God," Matt says, staring.

"That's how you got there ... by shipwreck."

He wonders briefly if the strain and the emotional pain is what kicked Prospero's abilities into high gear.

"Wow. I'm sorry."

... And that's actually a little ominous.

More along the lines of what you'd expect from a guy who enlists unhappy spirits into his service.

"Like in a karmic sense, or something a little more direct?"
