An actual chuckle escaped Lord El-Melloi II's throat at that. It seemed more amused that someone was willing to listen to him bitch without end rather than taking the offer seriously. The young man was far too earnest. He did not need to hear profanity laden rants yet. "Don't make offers you'll regret," he advised with a mildness that hitherto hadn't even shown that it existed in El-Melloi II. "My students inspire no small amount of frusteration. It's a miracle that at least one of them hasn't stuck a head in here having caused some sort of incident today."
Maybe they had a sense that their professor was in a grading mood, and that to disturb him might impact their marks? Who was to say. It was actually starting to make El-Melloi II suspicious, but for now, he moved the thought aside. "I see. Well, I'm sure specialization in the medical field has it's own unique demands, far more than magecraft."
Doctors, after all, were far more in the here and now than magi ever were, running after Roots and ignoring the normal world for the mystical one. Even as this one seemed to be trying to bridge the two.
As Roman explained, there was a flush of embarrassment on Waver's face. Goddamnit, this was Freemasonry lingo. He ought to have clocked that immediately, he was head of the modern department for god's sake. He had to talk about Crowley and Jack Parsons with a degree of seriousness that only conspiracy theorists actually had! He...had been lax on the Masons, hadn't he? El-Melloi II made a mental note to fix that.
The purpose of Chaldea had some interesting thoughts tacked onto it. "It sounds like you're going to be reaching towards True Magics in order to do so. Time travel in particular, although it also sounds as if you know that threats already exist."
