No one could even make a noise as if they didn't know what had just happened. Theodore was the first to shake his head and move to pick up his little bear from the trash can. He patted it as if it were enough to clean it. He glanced at Ryan. "What the fuck was that? Why was he so scared of me?"
Ryan covered his mouth as if thinking before slipping his hand to rub his face. "Uh… they probably thought you were so kind of, uh… fae? Lavallee probably hasn't seen a magician before…"
The two members of the Student Council glanced at one another. For the first time in a while, Louisa burst out in a derisive laugh. "They thought you were the devil! How befitting!"
"Fae is different, but…" Theodore ran his hand through his hair. He couldn't help but laugh in awkwardness. "This is why I have to know people a lot better first. Man, those sheltered church brats are quite something. They believe in otherworldly races but not in street magic?"
