Thirty-Third Hex - [Voice/Action]

[hisdarkmark]

[The journal feed cuts to Draco staring at his journal with a mug of coffee in his hand, snorting in disbelief as he's reading the message that's appeared there. It also appears as though he doesn't quite realize there is smoke slowly billowing out of his ears and nose, like some sort of dragon.]This is ridiculous. 'Stop smoking. Or start.

[Yukito pauses almost in mid-step as he emerges from the grocery store into the plaza, his arms full of the product of today's shopping trip. Is that...?

Not polite to stare, he admonishes himself a second later, but approaches nonetheless. It almost looks like the guy is on fire or something, and that's just not supposed to happen.]

I beg your pardon, but... is everything all right?

[action]

[hisdarkmark]

[And Draco turns, just lifting an eyebrow. What kind of a question is that?]

Why wouldn't it be?

[action]

[winged_moon]

Well, you're...

[He pauses to gesture vaguely in the direction of his face.]

...smoking.

[action]

[hisdarkmark]

...oh. That. If you have any sort of explanation for it, I'd love to hear it because I certainly don't have one.

[action]

[winged_moon]

Oh, I... oh. Huh.

[Yukito hesitates, looking puzzled for a moment.]

From the experiment?

[action]

[hisdarkmark]

If that's the case, how can I possibly be the only one smoking?

[action]

[winged_moon]

But why else would it happen?

Unless that's... something not unusual for you?

[action]

[hisdarkmark]

No, this is fairly unusual. But look at yourself. You're incredibly boring at the moment, so what's your explanation for that?

[action]

[winged_moon]

Am I? Well, I suppose that since I'm not smoking at all, that would be pretty boring.

[action]

[hisdarkmark]

I meant in the sense that you don't seem to be affected by any of this at all.

[action]

[winged_moon]

Oh, no, I seem to be doing just fine.

[And he looks so incredibly proud of that fact, for some reason.]

[action]

[hisdarkmark]

And your secret is?

[action]

[winged_moon]

...how did you know about that?

[Have a startled look. Guess who only thought he's unaffected?]

[action]

[hisdarkmark]

[His initial reaction is 'how did I know about what?', but his verbal reaction is a bit more planned.]

...because I know everything. So?

[action]

[winged_moon]

Oh.

[He blinks a couple of times, still looking somewhat astonished.]

How do you do that?

[action]

[hisdarkmark]

Know everything? It comes with being a wizard. [Sorry bro, this is going to be fun for him.]
