[ Full disclosure, Tech Boy hasn't learned to take teasing gracefully because his previous experience with it has all been either veiled criticism... or overt criticism. New Media in particular burned him in the end, and he'd lost his sense of humor about it. He's theoretically open to good-natured teasing, but he is going to have to get used to it. He pinches the bridge of his nose with a hand still holding his vape. He'll try harder, K.

He's still in exactly this position when he switches to match K's video. The featureless white behind him indicates that he's inside the network and not physically inside his own apartment. He lowers his hand and flicks the fringe out of his eyes with a nod of his head. ]

I've been keeping an eye on everything for a while. Hazards of the gig. But you texted me tonight. Best direct line of communication. [ He shrugs, a smile tugging at his lips. ] Just wanted to see you. The rest was a bonus.

[ He gets irritated very easily, but it can also cool quickly. And he can't find any reason to be anything other than pleased to see K. ]

It's faster if I came to see you.
