Oh are you? I don't recall agreeing to a time.

[compellingstatement]

You said it would be one hour.
It's well over that now.
I believe punctuality is in the Institute's staff handbook.

Can you be sure, Jon?

[This is a text. The time might be mysteriously missing on his end now. Just to mess with Jon.]

[For more than two minutes, Jon second-guesses himself, scrolling back through his phone in anger, then frustration, then confusion. Elias had said one hour. Hadn't he? Jon's own response that he has one hour is there, but... he'd been replying to it, hadn't he? God, he's tired. And anxious. He's not misremembering that, though. He is not.]

Don't do that.
You're not an avatar for the Spiral.

[So stop screwing with his head!]

Just answer the bloody question.

[He chuckles because he knows Jon is second guessing himself.]

You may have a social life as long as you come to me whenever I call for you without the Call.

['Be a good boy and you'll have more give on the leash' is what Jon reads in that reply.]

Fine.
That's all you had to say.
Goodbye.
