Yeah. There was sort of a lot in the way of it.

[tothosewhobait]

And, like you said, twenty three is still very young. Somehow you seem older AND a younger than your age.

[doublefried]

Older AND younger...

[tothosewhobait]

It’s all very mysterious.

[doublefried]

I guess I basically skipped straight to adult.

[tothosewhobait]

[Presses closer, burrowing against his side]

You can afford to be a little childish here now.

[doublefried]

[ happy wing flutter ]

The big worry is if any acting silly gets back to anyone back home, but... I kind of feel like I should fake my death and go into hiding instead of going back to work actually.

[tothosewhobait]

I one hundred percent agree with that feeling. Obviously I don’t know everything, but the feeling I got was you are being grossly exploited.

[doublefried]

A little bit.

[tothosewhobait]

I would say that you should sue them, but that probably wouldn’t end well.

[doublefried]

Nooo, I'd probably be quietly murdered.

[tothosewhobait]

…you are a grown man, capable of making your own decisions, but may I humbly and strongly suggest you absolutely not go back there?

[doublefried]

I mean, honestly. If I could take this opportunity to just mysteriously vanish forever from public life. I probably would. I'm not sure I can? I don't know how being returned from this place works.

[tothosewhobait]

It should certainly be possible.

[Offers him another chip]

[doublefried]

Well, if I could have it deposit me in some foreign country somewhere I probably will.

[tothosewhobait]

I’m a little relieved then.

[doublefried]

Like, normally there's no way to quit my job, but this seems kind of like an opportunity.

[tothosewhobait]

It would be a shame to waste it.

Do you want to keep playing truth or dare or do you want to play something else?

[doublefried]

I forget whose turn it was. We can do another thing.

[tothosewhobait]

Mmm..we could tell stories or gossip or do makeovers...by which I mean you could try the moisturizer I make while I preen your wings? Or another game.

[doublefried]

I wanna know more about where you're from. Is that okay? Like, it has magic and merpeople, so it must be pretty interesting?

[tothosewhobait]

That would be fair considering how much I got to see. Ah...is there anything specific you want to know?

[doublefried]

Hmm... I'm just generally curious.

[tothosewhobait]

Well...I'm from the Coral Sea. Jade, Floyd and I all took the land bootcamp so we could attend Night Raven College together. Not everyone in our world has magical ability...and only those with the potential to be a truly great mage are invited to attend. Obviously there are other schools, but NRC is of course one of the best.

[doublefried]

Ooh, so it's an elite kind of school... is it fun? I never went to school but it always looks fun in shows.
