[that's okay, because Tek has enough resolve for the both of them. he hardly glances over his shoulder while he begins looking through some of the collections of objects he'd been exploring earlier. the traces of magic are so faint that he needs to get close and focus while rummaging through them to remember which ones they had been. it's more difficult to pick up while multitasking.]

No, it's fine. If anything, it will probably prove that it's just a coincidence, right?

[or he'll be able to claim so, anyway. that's the important element of this test. and with a few objects collected safely in his hands, hidden from view, he turns back around.]

Don't worry. You won't even have to say anything. Just close your eyes and hold out your hands.
