[tobelieve]

I know.

( she's made contact with a few herself neener

also she isn't ashamed how dare ray

she's proud of who she is )

Though I don't see everyone else announcing when they're from to the public. You didn't exactly tell me when you were from.

( also she's totally from the 21st century get beat ray )

[shrinkage]

I mean, the majority's from at least the twentieth...

[ yes ray argue semantics with the woman you're weirdly outing, that's super cool of you. ]

[tobelieve]

I find that I'm less interested in when they're from.

( and he's avoiding the question... )

[shrinkage]

[ was there a question??? ]

Really? I think it's pretty interesting. Especially when I've been working with a person and testing their radical inventions for months.

[ seriously, lady. way to hold out. ]

[tobelieve]

Is there a point?

( you've figured her out. what now? )

[shrinkage]

Well, yeah. I--

[ wanted to gloat that he figured out a woman who clearly doesn't feel like parading around how she's not from the 21st century.

oh. right. ]

I guess not, no...

[tobelieve]

So instead you thought that you knew better, bring so advanced.

( a little cruel, a little point-proving )

Perhaps there's a reason why I wanted it a secret.

[shrinkage]

I thought you'd be relieved!

[ his hands jump up into the air, shoulders shrugging up with guilt masking as confusion. ]

You don't have to keep it a secret...

[tobelieve]

Given the asumptions you've already made, why would I be relieved?

( she's got this blending in thing pretty solid, and being insulted once is enough )

[shrinkage]

[ his mouth gapes a few times, and ray breathes out a heavy huff, nodding. ]

Yeah, no, I definitely didn't ... think that through. [ backpedal time! ] I swear I'm not going to tell anyone, though. I'm-- we can pretend this never even happened!

[tobelieve]

You don't have anything to tell anyone.

( most people probably probably wouldn't care that this random woman was from 1899. it wasn't as if he had her name )

You don't know anything about me to tell.

( hence why she's really not concerned. just a little irked from his assumptions )

[shrinkage]

I just thought it was interesting. That you've invented such advanced technology, and managed to fool me, an actual time traveling inventor? That's really impressive!

[ don't you want this asshole's validation? jeez. ]

[tobelieve]

( no tbh )

Is it? ( she's not impressed but helena also does try to fool evetyone ) I suppose you being a 'time travelling inventor' is usually impressive?
