Derik watched Kazimir calmly, nodding slightly to make it seem like he was engaged. People this impassioned only tended to get more and more worked up if they didn't think ...

"Ah." That was good to know. Not that it helped him just then. "Were you using yours for illegal things, then?"

Derik laughed too. No-magic-man seemed like it'd be a fun thing to call his oldest brother when he got home. Maybe Mikkel would laugh; maybe Derik would die. Either way, ...
