[Yeah, that's a comment that leaves him intrigued.]

I don't communicate back to the objects. They tell me what they know. It's less a conversation with young things and more a shouting of 'hey look at this'. Objects perceive things differently. For instance, I usually know what the most popular drink at a coffee place is that reuses cups because the cups themselves know. But yeah, back there, this bracelet, when powered, would have blocked my gifts. I wouldn't be able to read any of that.

[Granted some of it would be information that could be determined from looking at the wallet. He was hoping the desk details helped sell it all.]

You'd be amazed what I can do with clothes. Sweaters especially.
