No, I think we can put that theory behind us. Probably. Haven't quite ruled out that it has nothing to do with you, though.

That's not an accusation. It's a compliment.

That's fair.
I honestly wish I could give it away most of the time. Everything would be so much simpler. You ever get that?

[in_extremis]

What? Give away my money? Sweetheart, I can't even help that. I've got a closet to fill and jets to build.

I can't really imagine what it's like, being born so extraordinary. I worked very hard to pretend I was worthy of your company. I guess I don't have a choice in my mundanity as much as you don't have a choice in your excellence, but from this side, it's easy to know which one I would pick if I could.

You're a literal genius, way more than just money.
But hey, if you want to trade...
I'm joking. Mostly. I know you hate the magic.

That's a party trick. There are plenty of smarter people, here even. You'd know that if you mingled every once in a while. If you zap me again, though, I'll start telling them about how you killed me, then it'll really be an uphill battle.
