[zoion]

Ah. Yes. I've met someone with similar goals, once. It's not-

I understand why you fight, then.

[evasives]

I have a harder time understanding people who don't fight, in that sort of situation.

[zoion]

Quite right. Some things are worth fighting for. Or against, as the case may be. Although I do prefer other methods, but sometimes, well. If it is bad enough, that is not always an option.

[evasives]

At least you acknowledge that sometimes there is no choice. There are people who like to pretend otherwise.

[zoion]

Some things, one can't ignore. Or shouldn't, anyway.

[evasives]

No, they should not.

I know you are evidently a wizard and a little of your beliefs, but all I know of your name is Scamander.

[ some people's usernames are random, some are legit! this one just sounds like an animal, so who knows. ]

[zoion]

Oh. Well, yes. That is my name. My last name, that is. Newt Scamander, at your service.

[evasives]

Cassian Andor. I hope you find whoever you were trying to reach.

[zoion]

Oh, I know where he is, it's just this technology, see.

Anyway. It's a pleasure to meet you, Cassian Andor. Or speak with you. I suppose this isn't quite a meeting.

[evasives]

Probably not worth using the tech for conversation till all of this is solved.

It is a small enough ship that I assume it will be a real meeting soon enough.

[zoion]

Ah, yes, but I spend a lot of time in the suitcase, you see.

[evasives]

Right. The magic one.

[zoion]

Would you like to see?

[evasives]

I am admittedly curious.

[zoion]

So long as you'll promise not to scare or hurt any of my creatures, you'd be welcome!

[evasives]

An easy promise to make.

[zoion]

In that case, would now be a good time for you, Mr Andor?

[evasives]

Perhaps in a few minutes. Where do you keep it?

[zoion]

In my rooms or with me or in the gardens. But right now, the gardens.

[evasives]

Then I will look for the man with the suitcase.

[zoion]

If you only see the suitcase, please knock!

[evasives]

I assume there are no other suitcases to be concerned about mistaken identity.

[zoion]

You know, that did happen the one time. But not here, no.

[evasives]

Is there more than one magical suitcase?

[zoion]

Probably; I doubt I'm the only one with one. But no, that one was not magical at all. Entirely ordinary and filled with baked goods. Quite delicious ones, too.

Still, the muggle it belonged to got in a bit of trouble opening mine. Some of the creatures got out, see.
