Maddox didn’t really notice the bright red blush on the small girl, she was too busy squinting her eyes at Maryln. "Then luckily for you you’re in the right place." She nonchalantly said to the brunette. She didn’t feel the need to antagonise the woman any further. She was just shouting out meaningless threats to assert her dominance to the weaker minded people in the group. Getting defensive and threatening back would only make this trip more unbearable than it already was. Between the over-enthusiasm of the tiny girl named Bara, as she had introduced herself, and the comments of the brunette, she only had herself to keep sane. It was only when the brunette was surprisingly kind to Bara that she was slightly caught off guard. Luckily it didn’t seem like anyone noticed it, and even if they did Maddox could pass it off as motion sickness from the helicopter fighting back turbulence. 

"She could get out of the helicopter." A sudden voice made Maddox look up to a woman who sat a few seats further, in the middle of the helicopter. "Did you not listen to a word I said? She’d still have to-" She didn’t even have time to finish her sentence before the woman spoke again. She spoke about magic. Again, Maddox fought the urge to roll her eyes so far in the back of her head that she would see her own brain. Since when did everyone believe in magic? [i]Real[/i] magic. If it was real or not didn’t even matter, it was the pure fact that they just believed it only because someone said so. They didn’t see it with their own eyes. Didn’t experience it. It perplexed her that most of chopper just assumed magic was real and with no limitations. 
"Yeah, and then we can meet unicorns and slide of rainbows and fly a Pegasus into the heavens above. Oh, and while we’re at it we can make pink fluffy sweaters for everyone!" She said sarcastically and a little bit condescending. "Point is. She can’t do that now. She doesn’t have so-called ‘magic’." She added air quotes to emphasise her point. "So technically I’m not [i]dismissing[/i] anything out of hand. Besides, even [i]if[/i] she did, what kind? What do we know about this? Do we just blindly believe what they’d told us?" At this point Maddox was getting really annoyed. Constant talk about magic and excitement for their destination without knowing anything and just blindly trusting everything. There were a million things that could go wrong between now and when they were planned to land. 

In the time that Maddox and the woman were arguing – or more accurately, Maddox arguing with the woman -, others had introduced themselves. She could vaguely recall one of the boys calling themselves Gabe. Or Evan. Or both. She didn’t really follow their conversation. Probably for the best. Not knowing what was being said kept her from saying that they sounded like they were in sixth grade, telling everyone their name and hobbies they had. 

And as if lady luck was called upon this mortal earth, the conversation suddenly stopped when the Asian boy exclaimed something in his native language. "Quiet, please." He added after he noticed no one would understand a word he was saying – and then he continued saying things no one would understand -.  [i]'Then, please. Follow your own advice…'[/i] she thought. 
Normally Maddox wasn’t [i]this[/i] grumpy. Nearly the whole trip she’d been quiet. Just quietly staring out of the windows at the ever-changing waves of the blue sea, but now, when everyone was loud, she had gotten really annoyed. The Asian boy who didn’t follow his own advice was just the last drop that caused her to sound like a stuck-up bitch. "'Bout what." She stated more than asked to him, not looking at him (not that she could since he turned his back at everyone again). If she had to sit through hours more of this, she may as well involve herself in conversations. At least that’d be more useful than listening to endless bickering and sweet-talk.
