Summary
Theseus had joked once that it was Newt's most dangerous quality; the ability to seem harmless when he was quite the opposite. Newt simply considered it wise, especially since he believed his coat was more than a good enough warning that others ought to be wary of him.
It wasn't his fault so few humans paid little attention to the meaning of colours.

Summary
In the aftermath of Grindelwald's disastrous trial and his near escape — thankfully halted by the courageous actions of a variety of civilians and Auror's alike — the MACUSA and other magical ministries across Europe involved in the Grindelwald Affair came to a swift agreement. Gellert Grindelwald was to remain in his cell during the new trial, under full guard, in a part of the Woolworth building where permanent anti-apparition wards existed. He wasn't permitted any visitors or guests to his cell, except those personally approved by the President of MACUSA, and they had to be accompanied by a legilimens to verify their minds had not been tampered with by the Dark wizard.

"How do you even know about that?" Theseus whined. "Not even my boss knows about that!"
Newt tapped his nose knowingly. "I have my sources."
"Evil," he muttered.
"Not evil," Newt disagreed amiably. "Just creative."

Summary
In nature, Honest Signals, are signs that animals display in order to show a genuine desire to mate. Unfortunately, with humans, these displays can be chaotic and easily misunderstood when there's a lot of baggage about. Especially if there's three Auror's and a magizoologist involved.

Summary
“Newt honey, are you alright?” Queenie asked, her hands still on either side of Newt’s head, fingers tangled in the hair behind his ears, warm and alive on his skin.
“How do you know if you love someone?” Newt asked suddenly, voice cracked from the harshness of his panic attack — he could admit to himself what it was, there was no shame in them, there wasn’t — as he stared at Queenie, his usual air of discomfort entirely absent. He was focused on her; her behaviour, reaction, words, voice — everything.

Summary
“It’s quite alright, Tina,” Newt murmured, glancing around them, his head still bowed slightly, fringe falling in front of his eyes. There was no one else around, even though the warehouse was in a relatively lively part of the docks. Perhaps Mister Graves had set up Anti-Muggle wards for the duration of their time at the warehouse?
“Thee dragged me out to a scene once, not long after I joined the DCRMC because there were items at a suspect’s home he couldn’t identify and their resident potioneer had gone on holiday for the month,” he said, glancing at Tina with a slight gleam of amusement in his eyes. “I was there all day and ended up with pneumonia because it didn’t stop raining and the ingredients in the house were too sensitive to magic for warming charms to be used.”

Summary
“You cannot possibly write that fast,” Percy finally said, staring at Newt and catching the magizoologist’s gaze when he looked up. “Seriously, Scamander.”
“Hmm?” Newt blinked. “Oh, I can’t usually, but I had a feeling we were going to be filling out parchment work so I brought my own quill and ink for it.” The way the magizoologist said that so casually, as though it was perfectly reasonable to have come prepared for filling out obnoxious quantities of parchment-work which, yes they had both been prepared for that but the fact that Scamander seemed to consider his actions to not be something worth even commenting on—
Honestly, how was Percy supposed to cope with this man?
