There were a couple of reactions from the gathering to his presence. The one that drew Magus's personal attention was the fact that he appeared to have a sharp spear made of ice pointing direactly at his chest... or at least what counted for his chest these days. Truthfully, while he wasn't really sure if physical attacks could harm him due to his current status, repairing his cloak and the frame would be a pain under the best of conditions; there was also the added risk of being exposed to sunlight... Remaining very still, Magus turned his head to meet the gaze of the one being there that had bothered to respond to him with words rather then a spear of ice or simple noises. Before he answered Cain's questions, the hooded man turned his head to gaze at those who were gathered here, clearly thinking about what he could and couldn't say in front of them. His gaze seemed to linger on the fairy herself for a brief time... then, as if coming to a conclusion, his head bowed forwards a little as if nodding to himself as he returned to staring at Cain once again. "[i][b]To answer your questions in order... Yes. My name is Magus, I am a historian and researcher of Twili history, historical artifacts and magics. I am here due to research into allowing our people to physically exist outside of our domain having an unexpected result. No, I will not share what I have learned with you; there are...[/i][/b]" Magus took a moment to lift his gloved hand and wave his fingers a little. Every movement resulted in the creaking and rubbing of wood or bone rubbing against itself rather clearly "[i][b]side effects to the process that need to be addressed.[/i][/b]" Stepping to the side of Cain so that he could clearly see the fairy and the human girl, Magus's attention once again landed on the fairy woman. After a moment of silent thought, the hooded figure offered the fairy a polite and respectful bow. "[i][b]Greetings. I have a suspicion that you are the one that I was requested to meet at this festival. If you don't mind me asking, what is your name?[/i][/b]"
