Thomas casually listened to the three separate explanations given, fortunately all of them were the same so it didn't do a very good job of confusing him. From this explanation, and the adjoining ones, he found himself glad that his family wasn't like that, though it was hard to contest with the sheer mundaneness present amongst his family. This kind of thing would never have had the opportunity to happen, since as far as he knew he was the first person in a couple generations to have something as different as magical prowess. Not that he would tell them that. The discussion somewhat turned to that as Belle came over, He wore his usual confident grin, as hollow a shell as it might be behind that, but there was nothing which could pierce the falsehood for the moment, since only one other person here knew about, and he expected Serin to have the restraint to not mention it. He didn't didn't need that revealed, not when they needed to see that he was strong, determined. The magic he had learned was interesting, but it still seemed to him that his leadership ability was what distinguished him, and if he was replaced then there was no point in him being here, except as another sword to kill Heartless. Which was why he wouldn't lose this. "Well, at least we have another Sign now, so something good came of this, but yeah, we really should be moving on. Best to get this done as quick as possible, when we don't exactly have access to a time table for when the Senses will finish making that new world of theirs." It was pure self motivation then as he walked forward to claim the Phoenix Down from Eximna. "Thanks. We'll put it to good use." He waved goodbye as the brother and sister left, glad for the magic that hid the dark splotches on his armor. No need to worry the others over stuff like that.
