Her answer drew Daniel's attention, and he paused to watch what she did quietly, an eyebrow raising in time as she seemed to produce water from nowhere, moving it between her two hands before it vanished again. Now that was a trick. Another mage, standing right in front of him, and with the secret agents hot on his trail, this was turning out to be quite the day. He wasn't about to try and replicate what she had done, but it could only have been one thing really.

At her question, he shook his head. "When I said magic, I really meant it," he answered with a twinkle in his eyes. "Well, I guess it's like magic. If you come up with a better name you can let me know. The double and the box trick, those were actual illusions, if magic based, The fire trick, not so much."

He relaxed a bit, if only a bit, letting himself settle down for the benefit of the one he was talking to, given that he wasn't going to out her secret just now. For all he knew, the agents were here for him, not her, and they might not even notice. Hopefully. So, best if she stayed in the dark about that. "So, I take it you haven't been able to do that for very long then." If she had to ask him about what it was, what he did, then it was a safe bet that she hadn't been able to do that kind of stuff for very long, at least not with some degree of control. But best to hear it from her, lest he make a mistake somewhere.
