[ The psychic presence is tactile, first. Like a hand fumbling in the dark, knowing his fingers could brush up against someone at any moment and trying to avoid unwelcome contact.

Then: ]

Oh.

[ Or whatever passes for oh in Matt's mind. In this case, it's something like if a stray puff of air managed to light a candle, rather than extinguish it. The eureka moment is followed by a laugh, soda-fizz of endorphins that rises and feathers away. ]

Holy shit, you're right there, aren't you?

I mean--I think I can hear you.

Hello?

[ ooc: As noted here, Matt is reset! So if you knew him in AT, you are more than welcome to recognize him; he just won't remember you. PM or hit up artistformerlyknownas to ask questions or throw ideas around. :3 :3 :3 ]

[Once again Liem has to attribute Matt’s sentiment to either not meeting many shard-bearers just yet, or being too softhearted to condemn any of them. He has a feeling it may be more the latter, given that he knows for a fact now that Matt has encountered Silco already. That man doesn’t give a single damn about what “the right thing” even is… and he is not the only shard-bearer with such feelings. Not even the only shard-bearer who knows Matt to feel that way.

But Liem didn’t meet with Matt to criticize his judgments, even if he does find them concerning.]

I will keep you in mind, Matthew.

[When he isn’t busy with one of the dozen other things that always end up cropping up to take his time.]

All we can do is keep our eyes open and address ourselves to what’s important, yes?

[ "I'll keep you in mind" sounds like what someone might tell him after a job interview he didn't land, but Matt can't blame Liem. Not after those depressing tidbits he shared about the world he and other-Matt experienced before. He'll just have to prove he can handle himself around here. That he can be trusted.

So he nods, squaring his shoulders slightly. Musters another smile. ]

That and take copious notes.

[ A quick shake of his head: joke. Though equally, Matt's being totally serious. He smiles to himself as he lifts his mug for another, tepid sip. ]
