[Richter walks back onto the Plane, running a hand through his hair and looking a little less composed than the last time he walked onto the Plane. In fact, he looked like someone who's just had to sit through a few hours worth of bickering ('Spiteful Tenebrae' indeed) and he was going to kill the idiot who thought to put something like that on

It's not illegal, if that's what you want to know. But humans can't use magic and the elves tend to keep to themselves... Which leaves only half-elves as the ones who are seen using magic. [he sounds a bit bitter, but hides it by going to grab some tea leaves]

[enduringwinter]

When the only people who can use effectively magic are a minority group that's universally hated, it has the unintentional side effect of singling them out. You can imagine the results of that.

[enduringwinter]

They haven't made magic use illegal but, as you can probably guess, it really doesn't make much of a difference when using it results in nothing but trouble and misery.

It's changing slowly. Any change would be an improvement. [slightly bitter]

[a pause as he remembers something] I suppose Camelot has it's own reasons for banning the use of magic then?

[he just looks at her for a moment... And there's a faint ghost of a smile before he looks away]

Looks like some things just don't change from world to world.

[there's a nod and... that's about all he does to bid her farewell. There's none of his usual shortness though and that's about as close to a thankful gesture as Richter is comfortable with]
