Max planted himself casually as he was unsubtly cornered by the group, hands still in his pockets and legs spread wide. Annoying sycophants. It wasn't enough for leeches to be content with their own pets, they needed to seek out other toys to play with too. He opened his mouth to snap at them when he was cut off by the feeling of a sudden rush of wind. 

Did he do that? Maybe that feeling from earlier had done something after all. He pulled his hands from his pockets and flexed his fingers again as he refocused on the group in front of him. And... himself? Was he, like, astrally projecting or something? His body - not [i]his[/i] body, but him nonetheless - moved on its own accord. It was running? Why was not-him such a coward? Max looked down, brow furrowed in perplexion. He - real him - was still there. He didn't [i]look[/i] like some disembodied spirit. What would that even look like? Would be be transparent? Was this an illusion? Then where did the wind come from? This was obviously magic, but he didn't even know where to begin to classify it. 

[color=steelblue]“I could only give you an hour or so.”[/color] Max jumped slightly at the sudden noise, frowning sourly as the female mage became visible. So it [i]wasn't[/i] his doing at all. Useless. [color=steelblue]“Do with it what you will. Just remember, you aren’t actually invisible. People just don’t realize they’ve seen you.”[/color] 

[color=8585AD]"Is there a functional difference?"[/color] He gruffly asked before waving his hand dismissively, [color=8585AD]"Whatever, doesn't matter. Thanks, Eyebags."[/color] said the pot to the kettle. She did him a favor, he could at least be grateful. Invisibility was probably the greatest boon Max could've been gifted at that moment. No distractions, no vampires, no retrievers. He needed to learn how to do that on his own. Max finally turned his gaze back to the lanky mage from earlier, anger only partially tempered by the thrilling prospect of finally getting some guaranteed peace and quiet for the next hour. [color=8585AD]"And you - don't drag me into your stupid problems again, or I'll be joining those idiots when they start beating you up."[/color]
