~[i]Second Turn[/i] ~[/center]

No doubt Wisp must have come off a strange character, even to the locals. Some had been backing off before his arrival, but the new spark to the encounter had drawn some more of the nearby humans and demi-humans and the sorts into the crowd, waiting and watching to see what would occur next. Of course the concept of Cultists concerned them, and the idea that the three, oddly dressed human individuals could be aligned with such a group would be more than enough to turn a few tails - but it was human nature to stand by and watch the action go down, instead of run for ones own life.

Not that the cat boy paid attention to any of that, mind. He had bigger, more important, and more magical things to attend to. Namely, that device. Wisp was a mage - he had spent a lot of time looking into different parts of magic, and attempting to learn as much as he could. It was his call - at least, that's what it felt like. But as he stood in the middle of the crowd, tilting his head and body at different angles to get a look at the thing, everything he had seen in the past went out the proverbial window; he couldn't think of anything. In all the years he had spent researching magic and learning its practices, he had never come across something like the thing he saw in front of him.

And that was more than just exciting. It was [i]exhilarating.[/i] Or perhaps that was an exaggeration? He wasn't really certain any more. The weight of the money in the bag he held seemed to disappear almost completely as he watched the three - no doubt whatever the object was would hold a vast amount of value, and if the three didn't understand its worth, then even better. He might have been able to get a good deal out of it if he tried, no matter how dishonourable such a thing sounded. Mousey would be annoyed if he spent money, sure, but if he spent [i]all[/i] of it, she would be furious. He could almost see it happening. He would need to keep as much money as possible, on the off chance she found him!

His attention was drawn by the boy talking to him, no doubt about to take him up on the offer. And boy, could he have not have gotten a better deal.
[colour=MediumOrchid]"You'll give it to me? Like, for free? Really!? Absolu-"[/colour] even more so than before he had begun talking, his face lit up with a joyous expression, only to have his sentence cut off by a hand waving in front of his face. Zoning back into the rest of the people talking, he spun around quickly, coming into eye contact with the woman from earlier. With the spin, he took in the rest of the people, and the crowd, noting the crying boy, as well as the worried expressions of the onlookers. With the mention of a hostage situation, they were only getting more worried. What if somebody called a guard..?!

[colour=MediumOrchid]"Oh, hi, that's me!"[/colour] once again, he lifted his hand and waved, while simultaneously placing the coin pouch back onto his belt, [colour=MediumOrchid]"What do you mean, dangerous? I bet they're harmless! I'm just really, really interested in the magic box."[/colour] he tilted his head over towards the two, [colour=MediumOrchid]"You are harmless, right? He's even crying! They're fine."[/colour] he turned back to face Aer, [colour=MediumOrchid]"Oh, you should come with us! We can go find some fun things to do, and stuff like that!"[/colour]

When he finished talking to Aer, he span back around, addressing the three.
[colour=MediumOrchid]"You can come with me! The guards shouldn't stop us or anything, I think? As long as I get the box, we can go anywhere, 'kay?"[/colour] he smiled, and went to start making his way out of the circle, prepared to lead the group onward, but for a moment, he paused, [colour=MediumOrchid]"You're not going to do anything mean, right? I hope you're good people..."[/colour] as he spoke, he lifted his hand, letting everyone see his palm, [colour=Red][b]"Goa."[/b][/colour] with the single word, a small ball of flames lit up in his hand, about the size of an apple, [colour=MediumOrchid]"I don't like hurting people, but I will do. Now! Who's ready for some adventure~?!"[/colour]
