[ Maruki watches, fascination turning to true awe as the curse settles over the box.
He's seen a lot. He can do a lot. But he can't do something like that.
It's very, very cool. ]
Ah... No, that's a good point. I've also entered into a partnership with the medical facility Bakugou-kun runs, so if I ever need to refer a patient to him, it would be helpful to be able to supply their file. Good thinking, Vil-kun.
[ And then a thoughtful pause. Look, Maruki's a petty man too. The real gift hasn't escaped his notice at all. ]
And being trapped would be an appropriate comeuppance for anyone foolish enough to try to break in.
[ He huffs out a little laugh of relief and runs his hands over the box, looking from it to Vil. ]
I can't thank you enough. Seriously. This has been keeping me up at night for a while now.
[ It feels out of the question that he might ask for more. He doesn't even know what else he would ask for, with such seemingly limitless power as what Vil possesses. ]
[He hummed thoughtfully, paying no mind to the gratitude for now. Maruki may not have been able to think of more to ask for, but Vil has more to offer.]
I could offer a sound blocking blessing that activates once the door is closed- as an apology for Webby’s… earlier snooping.
[And if he’s honest, possible future snooping. He knows her. He’s FAIRLY certain he got through to her during their little talk, but she was nothing if not completely unpredictable.]
But that admittedly comes with the risk that if something were to go wrong, no one outside would hear the commotion.
[Such were things that needed to be considered with these sorts of spells.]
I could also potentially place a similar enchantment on the office itself that I did on your file box. That anyone entering with intent to harm anything within would be frozen in place.
My cottage has a similar curse. It’s done well to keep most ill tempered fiends from causing too much damage- provided they have enough sentience to have intent in the first place.
[So the recent misbehaving plants had been something of a headache.]
[ Vil's careful consideration of each curse or blessing's applications and drawbacks really is a salve for Maruki's analytical mind. Impossible to overthink when Vil is already doing it for him. But there are other considerations, of course. ]
That sounds good on the surface, but you might be surprised how many of my patients have... Let's call them anger issues!
[ Not even patients. Friends who visit as well. Maki. ]
I can easily see such a curse backfiring if they come in looking for a fight, whether it's against me or an inanimate object. I'd hate for that to happen.
[ He runs a hand over his stubbled jaw as he looks around the office, considering it, then back to Vil after a long moment. ]
What about something as simple as a curse to only allow visitors through the door that I usher in personally? Unlike the records that might be needed by others one day, there's no need for anyone to ever enter here without my presence.
[ ... well. ]
Ah, but I might want an exception or two, for my most trusted companions here, just in case of emergencies. I don't know if that's possible.
