There was a genuine smile at the compliment, but his eyes rolled when Jason bossed him around. "You're so charming." The younger of the two said with a sigh, but he didn't actually look that annoyed. He was willing to chalk it up to the wolf making sure he didn't hurt himself or anyone else.

Tim too could smell that the air around them had changed. He wasn't quite sure what it meant, if anything. Perhaps it was normal with magic, at least the sort he was practicing, and the fact that he had so little exposure to it was why he'd even noticed. It might help him to go through the grimoire again. During his time with it he had studied every page, but maybe something had slipped through the cracks in the wee hours of the morning. Even geniuses could make mistakes.

He grabbed a protein bar from his bag and took a seat at the table Jason was already at. "I brought more if you want one." They were pricey ones that didn't taste like shit, a rarity when it came to having to fuel themselves in their line of work. Tim didn't mind sharing, he had no idea what the metabolism of a wolf would be like, or if Jason had food stored away somewhere in the place he'd brought him to. Then he was quiet again, remaining polite in his manners but downing the whole thing pretty quick. His body was begging for the calories.

"So what's it like to be a wolf?"
