"Magic, yes...? Those who have shown the aptitude for elemental control are typically sent to the mage academy, myself included.? Though being an elf gives me a one-up on most beginners in this craft.? Our race is naturally attuned to this chaotic energy, and studying it further allows us to hone this so that we can shape the world to our will," Roue explained, looking back at his table guest.? "However, whether magic can be weaved depends on the concentration of chaos around you.? Very little of it means not much can be done...there could be places with magical starvation, natural or artificial.? This place seems to be rich in it, though.? I can feel it.? The fact that this exists between worlds as you explained is a testament to that."

Without further adieu, Roue grabbed hold of the napkin that the waitress left behind with his waters.? His eyes began to glow with a soft blue hue as he concentrated upon the corner of the cloth.? At first, the tip began to smoke as the edges slowly turned black, but then shortly after a flame sparked to life, eating at the fraying fibers around it.? Placing it into an empty cup, he left the fire continue to consume its host as he freed his hands, pointing his index fingers at each other.? In a split second, a little zap of static electricity arched between his fingers and disappeared, leaving a slightly tingling feeling behind.? Looking around, he tried to find something with which he could demonstrate the earth powers, spotting a piece of stray fruit peel, orange from the looks of it, which he bent down and picked up.? He placed it upon the table and placed his hands atop it.? He clenched his jaw then moved his hands away, revealing that the previously colorful peel now has turned gray and ashen, stiff as a board when he took it into his hands and easily broke into halves when he applied some pressure.? Lastly, the elf took hold of a cup of water, taking a sip to cleanse his parched throat.? Right before he put it down, however, he draw his right hand over his mouth and as he parted his lips, he let loose a quick breath of arctic air upon the surface of the drink as it suddenly turned translucent, opaque as the effect cascaded down until the liquid had completely frozen solid.? Placing the cup onto the table with a clink, he pushed it towards Rabbit so that he could see the proof of it himself.

"I wouldn't say you are not important, Rabbit.? You are able to exist in this in-between world, are you not?? We all have our place in the world, even me, even if I don't belong," he said the last part a bit bitterly, looking away for a second.? "But I am quite curious about you.? You say you need blood to survive...how do you get it?? Do you have willing participants...or do you partake much like you did with me?"? Internally, he had to admit that he suddenly felt inflamed about thinking that, but it was not place.? Not with someone whom he's just barely met.? It was inappropriate and he wasn't going to say a bit about that.? "Is that...is that why you refused to kiss me...at that time?? Because you could've bitten me?"? His own cheeks flushed this time, but he had to know.
