Is that so? [Myr's expression becomes one of exaggerated concern as he picks up another cookie.] Maybe I ought to take this one back to the drawing board for consideration before I unleash the forces of embarrassment on the Inquisition like that.
[He's teasing; he can't keep from breaking back into a grin that defuses the words entirely.] Oh, lots--though we're still tossing ideas out to see what sticks. Spells for locating them, sending messages to yourself so you've got a record in your own voice, having a way not to listen to all the chatter that goes on if you've only got your crystal for emergencies--and so on, and so on. [He gestures with the cookie, then takes a neat bite of it.
Once he's finished, he resumes:] Is there something else you think would make 'em easier to use? It sounds as if you've got a similar sort of thing back home--is that so?
Probably be the responsible thing to do, but you know, sometimes you just gotta be a little irresponsible. Let chaos reign a bit. [Also teasing, having caught on to Myr's grin. Besides, the Inquisition is always so orderly and rigid. A bit of fun could go a long way to lighten things up.
Myr's ideas are good ones, and ones his world has in some form or another. Just with technology, not with magic.]
We do. Just not with crystals. They're called phones where I'm from. I have one with me from home, though it doesn't work anymore. No power left in it to use it. [Not that he could do much with it here, anyway.]
