Alex's breath started to normalize after a second, [color=green] "I am fine. I am fine. I am not hurt, just something didn't feel right when I was doing my spell and I got startled. That is it, I just lost concentration and got startled, or startled and then lost concentration. When I do that, I am collecting the, um, I think you would know it as ki, life energy, from the room. Think of that if everyone and everything is living as a tree, and I can came by and pick up the fallen leaves and use them to cast my spells. 

Normally, urgh, how do I describe. That green energy you saw, ki, is more warm and inviting, like it fills like river water in the spring washing over me. Well, as I was pulling in energy, I felt something different. It felt like sticky oil and it felt freezing cold. Well, not really freezing cold, but you know what I mean. And after that, as I was already losing focus, I felt a different type of energy. It was only there for less than a second, but it felt eerily familiar. 

It is ancient Rutan magic, it might of been interacting weird with the ancient magicks that guard this place. I did a course on magic at school, and ancient magic isn't as refined as more modern magic, and it doesn't have the stuff that can prevent it from acting weird with other magic. That or. oh nevermind." [/color] he said, his face turning a bit grim because he didn't want to end by saying, "Oh by the way, there might fundamentally wrong with the people at this bar." By time he was finished sitting, he had sat down and looked like he was fine.
