Raiya finished crafting her lettuce, tomato, salami and cheese sandwich on whole wheat bread, when Nemo entered the dining area. Raiya let out a huge irritated groan as Nemo tried to spark up some small talk. [color=ec008c]"Hello there, Nemo,[/color] Raiya said in a mimicking manner, [color=ec008c]"Being annoying and intrusive as usual, I take it?"[/color] Raiya was usually able to just ignore Nemo when he talked to her. She, even on occasion, was able to maintain the illusion of polite small talk, but this night was clearly different. 

	Raiya plopped her sandwich onto a plate, and then fixed herself a quick rum and coke, before finding a spot on a sofa to sit down on in the adjacent living room. There was a large plasma television above the fireplace. The television was essentially useless, since there was no internet or satellite dish due to the covert nature of Felix's house; and being as far out in the Californian redwoods as they were, they had no basic antenna reception either. In order to provide some outside entertainment, every time that Felix left to gather groceries for the house, he also would grab the newest blurays. There was a large rack of movies and t.v. series boxsets. Raiya had been watching something called [i]The Magicians[/i] recently. Turning on the t.v. and bluray player resumed the disk on the episode she was last on. Raiya found it odd how the untalents portrayed magi. The characters in this series were all "magicians" but didn't seem to know what aura was or mana even. In fact, magic seemed proportional to the despair the user sunk in, which seemed unique but highly inaccurate. Regardless, the series provided enough entertainment to allow Raiya to mindlessly pass some time while eating and getting drunk.
