Now Hix is gone do the rest of you want a notorious dark wizard roaming around unwatched and unchecked? Any volunteers to amuse me by attempting to be my temporary warden?

Admiral, I want my powers returned to me as they were when I arrived. That's only fair.


[Private to Arthas and Frostmourne]

Did you frighten Hix that much that he had to flee?

Hix took my powers. Hix is now gone. Thus things should be returned as they were.

Fairly sure we don't get to request a thing. That's why we're inmates.

He won't hand that out. I suggest you get a warden to back you up if nothing else.

[wandthief.livejournal.com]

Well, I did get an answer, at least.

Really, it does not hurt to ask. Who knows when I shall have a proper go-between again.

[pleasesmirk.livejournal.com]

There's no point in asking questions you know the answer to.

I don't know why they give you power at all actually. I've seen my sword once in the whole time I've been here.

[wandthief.livejournal.com]

I did not know for certain the answer. I might have caught the dear admiral in a giving mood.

You were not born with a sword.

[pleasesmirk.livejournal.com]

Doesn't matter. You can still do harm. You don't give criminals the means to do harm, no matter how they got those means.

[wandthief.livejournal.com]

They haven't taken my mind away yet.

[pleasesmirk.livejournal.com]

No, that's just a means to think - nobody can take actions just by thinking. Nobody can hurt anyone just by thinking.

[wandthief.livejournal.com]

Maybe not in your world.

[pleasesmirk.livejournal.com]

I'm fairly sure in most worlds.

[wandthief.livejournal.com]

Oh, but there are ways to use the mind against others.

[pleasesmirk.livejournal.com]

Enlighten me, wizard.

[wandthief.livejournal.com]

I think it may go over your head.

[pleasesmirk.livejournal.com]

I am no idiot, don't patronise me.

[wandthief.livejournal.com]

I only mean that is has to do with magic and I know you do not approve of that...

By the way, are you unhappy that Hix has left? Since he was from your world, even if he was a wizard.

[pleasesmirk.livejournal.com]

Doesn't mean I won't understand.

Don't deflect whatever thoughts of abandonment you've got on to me.

[wandthief.livejournal.com]

You're avoiding answering.

[pleasesmirk.livejournal.com]

So are you.

My planet's always been in a huge minority here. One wizard either way makes no difference.

[wandthief.livejournal.com]

The mind is a powerful thing.

I wonder... Well, that is something for myself to sort out.

[pleasesmirk.livejournal.com]

Not powerful enough to do something entirely on its own. If you're being that vague, I don't think you can do a thing.

[wandthief.livejournal.com]

I said it can be done. I didn't say I was currently capable of such.

[pleasesmirk.livejournal.com]

...Your vagueness really doesn't scare me.
