So the thing about being IT for an entire coven (even when that really ain’t his job…) is that there are some witches who just don’t understand the way computers or anything remotely technologically inclined worked. There was this witch in one part of the expansive mansion that was still convinced that the internet was being manipulated by an ever-expanding spider that was gathering the information for some sort of war on humanity. The entire thing was exhausting. He returns to his post in the library and cracks open his laptop, sifting through for where he left off on his archival decoding. This was his actual job, making sure all the important things of the coven’s history were available online.Â
A ding! caught his attention and he glanced down at his phone, surprised that it was already time for that. Ashton said she had a friend she wanted him to meet, a new witch who was supposedly really hot? He’d have to be the judge of that, Footsteps in the library alerted him of another and his eyes wandered up to find another man looking… lost? Or something close. “Hey,” he calls out phone hand. “Are you–Collin? Did Ashton send you?” A pause. “If you’re not… uh… Enjoy the library?”
Brady had made two rules: don’t get into any trouble, and don’t get attached. Collin, ever rebellious extrovert as he was, intended to follow those rules. This mission was about proving himself, so he wasn’t going to risk anything that might compromise their success. However, that also meant taking some risks. If he was going to come out of this looking just as competent as his brother, he needed to do something big. Something valuable. He needed to find the secrets that not even all coven members knew about. He needed an in. The best way to do that was to make friends. He was still sticking to the rules— no strings attached fun, all while serving the cause. Collin was playing to his strengths.
Recently, he’d be working on a cute girl named Ashton. He’d flirted with her enough for her to decide that he needed to meet her friends. She’d sent him along to meet some guy. Collin was only doing it for the sake of gaining more of her trust. That is, he was, until he learned that he was a computer whiz librarian. His interest in Grayson personally had gone up once he learned how much of a nerd the guy was. So when he was greeted at the entrance of the library, he gave a bright smile. “I am, and she did. Grayson, right? Glad you're here, I almost got lost like three times on my way over. This is a big ass place.”
