Rhys was very good at minding his own business. I'm talking super good, doesn't even know or care that other people's business exists. However, once he catches wind of someone else's business well... That's a very long tales to tell. He was trying to take a coffee with only nine sugars today. You know, one step in the direction of the black coffee that all the cool business minded adults drank. It super was not working. Too bitter still. Somehow. He got up to get some more sugar when he saw a taller man getting his drink. He was… honestly kind of terrifying. Rhys had dealt with bandits but this guy just radiated ‘I have killed before and I can kill again’ energy that Rhys did not want in what probable little remained of his life. Though after noticing this man’s resting bitch face after taking a drink… Oh no. Oh man this dude… He had a whipped cream mustache and didn’t even seem to notice! He even looked like he was going in for another sip. Dude, use a straw! Was this guy gonna go outside like this? Telling him might even be Rhys’ good deed for the day so that would be good… Karma? Points? Whatever.

“ARRGHHHH!”

Noi stood hunched over in a small alleyway, having absentmindedly wandered into the disturbingly bright Chamomile district in an attempt to get her bearings. It was fun to scope out while it lasted, but when she had decided she did not, in fact, want to play this game anymore, she did what any normal sorcerer would do--summon a door back home.

Well, she sure was releasing smoke, and there sure was no door appearing.

Her mask unhinged at the jaw, Noi gave one more huff of unsuccessful black smoke before slamming her fist into the brick wall beside her in a devastating CRUNCH. 

“What the FUCK.”

Tampering with her magic? That was fucking annoying. She rose to her full height, drawing a ragged breath, tempted to take another swing. Instead, she threw a haphazard glance behind her shoulder where the alley opened to the street and--oh, there was someone there. Great. Maybe they were a wannabe magic-user looking to scrap with the wrong person.
