The wizard's eyes widen and the thought tendril retracts from Johnny's temple momentarily as thoughts come tumbling out of the back of Merlin's head in a flood.
Green. Green eyes.
Same shade as Matthew's.
Slight pulse, resistance to mind probe indicates latent magical ability.
From Saint Peter's Orphanage.
Matthew also from Saint Peter's orphanage.
Matthew also possesses significant latent magical ability.
Shared supernatural heritage most likely explanation. But only shared features green eyes...
Wait. Magic-killing entity under complex banished by unknown means, likely power greater than self.
Matthew asking about Jules afterward.
Agreement made with entity for potent magical materials a few months back. Unknown entity in agreement had green eye, identified as Jules.
Lack of magical creatures or features of any kind in world at large means only source could be hidden places or other worlds.
One of Jules' primary traits that he spreads across worlds akin to virus.
Shared features same shade of green eyes.
Same eyes as Jules.
Johnny son of Jules.
Matthew ... son of Jules.

Once is coincidence, twice is pattern. Jules used orphanage as dumping ground for children.
Orphanage recently burned down, claimed as arson. According to Johnny too professional for arson.
Something targeted orphanage for purpose. Perhaps enemy of Jules.
Likely other children of Jules in orphanage. Assume escaped and at large.
If whatever burned down orphanage was targeting Jules and/or children of, assume surveillance placed on any orphans adopted. Likely surveillance on shop. Need to search.
Need to keep up pretence of interview with Johnny.
This is manifested on the outside as Merlin rapidly blinking his eyes in odd patterns and the air around him occasionally pulsing. After a long period of silence, Merlin connects to Johnny's head again.
Your father, specifically. Do you remember anything significant about your father? This may explain some of the bizarre things that have been happening to you.
Merlin furrows his brow. Jules had approached Matthew in the store in the prelude to the deal he'd made - store compromised - and apparently talked to him after the incident underneath the complex, if his suspicions were right. Given this apparent preference for communicating with his children, combined with Johnny's rather jaded attitude toward supernatural events, suggested he'd likely contacted him before. More information needed. And how did the incident with the portal and the cultists connect?
I need more information.
...never mind the question about your parents. I apologize for changing tack so much, but you insinuated that many odd supernatural events have happened to you over the course of your involvement with R, or that you're used to them. What exactly happened to you? It could be important.
