He sits waiting for the others, they will join him soon. Then he can explain how he knows.

The magic of this world has always been closer to him than to others. Most take it for granted, it is as a constant in this ever changing world. Others ignore it, only calling on it when they need it, like its a dog that would come at its masters command.

The magic spins around him, like a warm hug. It knows him, and he knows it.
