[color=96EACE]"Dibs on the second one!"[/color] Joseph said from his position on one of the couches, slumping into it as far down as he physically could. [color=96EACE]"Gettin' a bit late, y'know? Wanna try to make it back home before I miss too much sleep..."[/color]

He shrugged, before looking to Spencer, a lazy smirk on his face.

[color=96EACE]"Unless, that is, you'd prefer to get this over with now. After all, I imagine there's a little more you'll wanna talk about with me than just my [i]mundane[/i] issues, eh Randy?"[/color]

Of course, there was a pretty strong chance he was looking [i]way[/i] too deeply into it, but in his defence, looking to deeply into things had been the only thing that kept him alive on more than a few occasions. This was even more important due to Spencer himself. Because as his hero name suggested, Magician was, in fact, a mage. Mages generally didn't get along with other mages outside their own direct bloodlines, and unless he'd missed something [i]very important[/i] in his family history, that didn't apply here.

That being said, until recently, Joseph had also thought the general magus stereotypes didn't really apply to Magician, given what he'd been able to learn about the man. Upon actually seeing him in person, however, he could tell that the other mage was just as smug and self-important as any other he'd met. Maybe even [i]worse,[/i] honestly. And if what they said about his accomplishments were true, then this was a magus who had been capable of fighting [i]an entire nation[/i] on his own.

So, yeah, Joseph figured a healthy sense of paranoia was justified at this stage. But, thanks to his brilliant acting skills, he managed to keep any of those thoughts from showing in his expression or body language, instead schooling them into that same mask of irreverent laziness he'd so carefully honed over the last seven years.
