[An anxious Cedric appears on screen. He looks from left to right, his mussed hair flying just about everywhere. He taps the screen to ensure that it's turned on---in his mind this somehow serves a purpose. When he's sure everything's working, he waves.]

Hello! This is Cedric again. I've talked about this with one or two of you before. I'm sorry if I'm repeating myself or it's something you've all heard before, but this is something I need to sate my curiosity about. It's just that this world is so different from what I'm used to and there are so many different types of people. If that's even the word you prefer. And sometimes we have conflicts with one another.

So I have to ask: what do you think of people who are capable of using magic? Witches, warlocks, sorcerers, casters, wizards, or whatever you choose to call them. Are they all right, do you think? Or not?

Yer the easy-going sort, aren't you? [ He manages to sound like it's almost an insult. ]

[theboywhodied]

Yeah, what of it?

[sharpe]

Should there be something 'bout it? You keeping some secrets, perhaps?

[ He's ribbing for the sake of it. ]

That I'm secretly out to hurt people? Certainly not.

That ain't the only kind of secret ta keep, lad.

Of course it's not.

If you're trying to goad me into admitting something, there's really no point. I've learned here that secrecy isn't necessary.

I ain't goading you into anything. [ Pause, and a chuckle. ] It's not everything a plain soldier gets ta meet a wizard, and yer a little bit too boring fer me tastes.

Well I'm terribly sorry to have bored you. Go ahead and resume your day, sir?
