Graham narrowed his eyes at Braeden and proceeded to pelt him with various kinds of food that he had stashed on his person. "Guess I'll just need to keep throwing until I hit, then."
"Why are we throwing food?" Faussin asked, stepping in tentatively. Graham turned and threw a bagel at him instead, but Faussin caught it. He stared at it for a moment. "Is this safe to eat? I forget to get food from the cafeteria and I'm really hungry."
"I would play it safe," Mercy said.
Faussin nodded, carefully setting the bagel onto the table. "That's probably the best option, huh?"
Eriko watched Faussin curiously as he took a seat next to Madoka. He caught her gaze after a moment. He looked around, as if making sure she wasn't looking at anyone else, then looked back at Eriko. He coughed. "Y-yes?"
"You're the Ultimate Illusionist," Eriko started, tapping her chin, "and yet we've never seen you do a magic trick. You should put on a performance for us."
He blinked, suddenly sitting up straighter. "Oh. Oh! You don't mean now, do you?"
She shook her head, a smile spreading across her features. "No, not now. You should prepare first so you can really wow us. Maybe you could put on a show in the dance club? Or somewhere else of your choosing, considering you're the magician?"
"Yeah," Faussin started excitedly. "Yeah! I don't know how long it'll be until I have something ready, but I'll try to work quickly. Give me a few days, maybe. Or a week. Probably more than a week, I need to find things to use and I really don't know yet, it depends on what I decide to do."
Eriko clapped her hands. "Wonderful! I can't wait!"
Graham stopped throwing things at Braeden, seeming genuinely interested. "Woah, wait. The Ultimate Illusionist is going to put on a magic show? Awesome!"
"Finnian expressed his excitement for the show, but in French," Eriko said. "Vivara said she's ready to be impressed as well."
Mercy scoffed. "Why don't they just say it in English?"
"Because they're snobs," Graham replied.
