[Now he just looks casual, bored, but the spark's still in his eyes. Yes, he does. He hates that it's his only option right now aside from returning to park benches and occasional shelters, and it involves shovelling so much horseshit out of his brain once they've put it there.]
Alright. I know what we can do. This one's just good for a lecture, and plenty of people do it. [He tips his head to look down at Harry.] You seen the top-secret basement yet?
A fuckload of snooping. [He tucks his hands into his pockets and shrugs.] Obviously. Some of the stuff's under retinal scan, no getting near it, but there's just punch codes and hidden doors for some of it. Get bored enough and you figure out just how much shit there is to stir around here. And I was nothing but bored when I got here.
I just brought you down to show you around. Like I said, it gets nothing but a lecture. The rest's on you, and you're new, so you didn't know any better.
[Hands back out of his pockets and held up at his sides. Fair?]
No, you don't understand. I'm going to get you in trouble.
[ it's stated like a warning. but a warning he thinks it's god damn hilarious. ignore john's probably perfectly rational excuses about how they won't get caught if they don't do anything stupid.
but harry's about 99% positive he's going to get john to do something stupid. just you wait ]
I would hate to break whatever good streak you're on this week.

[ oh ho. he's looking right at john now, intrigued. top secret basement? where they keep all their undoubtedly x-men shit. ]
You know how to get in? It's not very "top-secret" then, is it?
no subject
Nah, not top secret. But you'll get to see the jet you're gonna fly.

[ he's definitely got piqued curiosity. john's had his full attention for a while and now he's basically staring at him ]

If we go down there, I'm going to do something to get you in trouble.
