A long pause was all that followed. Garamond was silent, his hands folded over the desk in front of him and his eye caught on Calibri. His stare was, for a long moment, cold and calculative, as if he were settling on judgement based on Calibri's prior statement. He held his pose like a statue for a good minute, and the presence of his silence was so strong that the room around him seemed quieter because of it.
Then he smiled.
"Ha ha ha! I like this kid!" He exclaimed. "I really do!"
Reaching under his desk, Garamond brought out a ribbed, metallic box and dropped it like a stone beside the tablet device. He then drew his arms back in, letting them again cross against the lip of the desk. "It's just a slice of meat between bread, kid, it's not poisoned," He explained, afterward gesturing to the box. "I didn't exactly prepare a test for you, sorry to say, but I did bring some toys along. Have a look and see if you can identify them. I'm sure you've only seen these in textbooks, if anywhere."
