Jay's face was blank. Probably a little dumbfounded, even. The guy explained but it made no earthly sense to Jay. He scratched his hair and looked at the fellows nearby like maybe they could translate to no avail.
Then their gazes were drawn to the ceiling. The lighting was cool, Jay gave it that. About the best tech he'd ever seen at a concert. If not ever seen, period.
But then the guy went quiet for a moment. His face darkened like he was concentrating or maybe like he was pissed off. A weird sort of look that made the hairs on the back of his neck stood up. He'd seen that same look before.
A few moments later, lights identical to the stage tech shimmered above the man's palm. Jay didn't hear the laughter. His face drew down serious. His spine stiffened. But he met the man's smile with a thin one of his own. "You're one of those wizards I 've see-- heard about."
He changed the phrase at the last minute.
Well that was awkward. Jay looked at the other two in the guy's company, wondering if they were wizards also. "I know a guy thats a wizard too. Or whatever you call yourself? Your Ascendancy seems to call your kind gods."
He shrugged. Pretty much all the same to him.

Only darkness shows you the light.
