[ Cardan blinks. "Matt" isn't a particularly common name (to him, anyway), and yet one he's heard before-
He'll raise his hand to wave a couple fingers in the air, conjuring up a glamour of... well... Matt's face, painted in shifting smoke and eerily life-like. ]
This man?
I am familiar.
[ A witch, though? That's news, even if the fact that Matt... listens... isn't. ]
And there I thought you were the type to take direction.
[ Why did he think that? Mostly because it's fun to think about, and because Cardan himself is good at giving out commands. And Nikolai is, after all, unerringly obliging, though presumably that's because he's playing the long game. ]
