[ It's a little amusing, hearing that request from someone other than the office's primary owner. But John does draw the door shut before moving directly over to Matthias' desk.

What kind of not-secrets would Matthias have? He's so young, and it seems every emotion he has shows on his face, flows forward freely. It's never occurred to John to think there's any particular guile in him, personal project or no. ]

Is this something that's going to get you into trouble?

[ Still humor in his tone, though the closed door has John considering whether or not this is a matter of some weight. ]

No! Just-- I mean, it's all right. I'm only being careful with it all for now, 'cause, I dunno, it's not...

[He twitches the corner of the page down, creases it decisively with his thumbnail before he folds it back again. The door is closed now, so--]

I'm going to be having lessons, with Enchanter Leander. With magic and all. I asked him and he said he'd help me, formally, and all. 'Cause I wasn't at the Circle very long, and--I know things, obviously, but I learnt them sort of as I went, y'know? And I want to learn them a bit better. So it's nothing that's going to get me in any trouble but I haven't quite... I mean, I think people might be a bit... I don't want them to think anything of me.

[The abomination is right there as he says it, so in his mind still that it's like it's stood in the corner. Matthias looks Silver dead on. He will, he thinks, understand.]
