[ Jeez, he really does toss that stone like it's nothing. Matt has no idea how much it weighs exactly, only that he'd struggle to lift it himself. As he regards the stranger nervously, he finds his risk assessment shading into a purer appreciation for the quality of his movement. It's not rehearsed in any way, and yet every step is light and sure, as if every atom and cell of this place is familiar to him. In enthusiastic collaboration with his schemes. ]

[ Shit, this guy isn't going to like the use of Greek. Although it's not like "Ennead" comes from a dialect out of North Africa. Matt watches the bust launched up, hitting its crest, falling back down. Up, down. Up, down. His eyes narrow. ]
You wanna talk fast?
[ Matt probably can't lift the bust himself, which means he probably can't levitate it himself. But he isn't without options. He waits for it to leave the stranger's hands again, to reach the apex of its arc, and--
With a wrench of breath that leaves his cheeks flushed and his lips slightly parted, there's a telekinetic tug that aims to interrupt the normal play of physics, to jerk the bust from its trajectory and send it into Matt's arms. ]
