[h1]Matthew(and some Nyx)[/h1]

Matthew's jaw dropped at the portal woman, but the moment was ruined when she opened her mouth.

A joke.

She told a joke at this time, in that way, in that manner?

...Okay.

The good news was that, considering the portal, magic [i]was[/i] real and he [i]wasn't[/i] losing his mind.

The bad news, however, was that not everyone was taking the existence of it seriously, [i]even when they had it themselves.[/i]

[color=#A52A2A]"Oh, ha, ha, very funny,"[/color] Matthew said to the portal woman, rolling his eyes. [color=#A52A2A]"Trust me, if I and the rest of us didn't have any magic, we would be reacting [i]way[/i] worse than we actually are."[/color]

[color=#80471C]"Wow, talk about touchy,"[/color] Nyx said in his mind. [color=#80471C]"Haven't you ever heard of, y'know, [i]jokes?"[/i][/color]

Matthew just rolled his eyes at Nyx's comment and, noticing that they hadn't been invited in yet, looked curiously at the door.

When two other men arrived and did something with said door, Matthew just nodded at the second man's remark about it.

Finally, they were actually [i]going somewhere[/i] with this!
