(The man tips his hat, as if giving a final salutation.)

(And behind them...)

(is the sound of shattering glass.)

Eep—!

(instinctively jumps back from the source of the sound)

I'm no good at card tricks, but yeah. I can't exactly give a good demonstration now, but...

...Hell's bells, where'd my staff go? -looks around-

-Nycan- Deertaur, huh? -looks him over- Sounds about right...

Liman is pulling Holly deeper into the forest, one hand holding Holly's hand and another, with a wrist watch that's projecting a screen a few inches above it.

She's frantically barking orders in...a foreign tongue to it as they ran.

It's a very simple name for humans to understand.

-Nycan nods-

Hmm? What does your staff look li-

-The deer notices Oriana writing in her notebook-

-He can't read-

-Attempts to use her Gift of Tongues to translate what Liman is shouting-

-If Harry can detect magic (I forget if he can), he'll sense a literally incomprehensible amount coming through Oriana...Nycan will probably notice it too, if I recall-

The watch replies in that odd foreign bark. "[1 click. ETA. 1. Minute. Commander. Over.]"

You smell of magics. You know that?

"[... -Huff- If...possible, I would have to ask y-you if its possible for you to teach me. -Huff- A-Another day, perhaps.]", as she wipes sweat off her forehead.

She looks behind them, scanning for threats. "[Think we lost them?]"

Do you itch for conflict?

(Homura hears a voice that simultaneously sounds right behind her, yet an infinitesimally long distance away.)

(If she turns around, she'll find that she's looking through the window... and the man is gone.)

-Makes several decisions in very quick succession in the split second he has-

-You could dodge those, or catch them-

-You could deflect them back into his smug face. Or at least his legs, to buy you some time-

-Then you could go get Holly. It wouldn't take much to just knock her out and carry her back, probably-

-Then you'll get to finish doing something that you don't like doing and get an indeterminate amount of money from a kid you don't like-

-Or, you could just swat them into a tree and decide this isn't worth it and go back to the house without Holly, which objectively is the right thing to do, and will render every last bit of everything pointless-

-And after you do any of these things, you will go back to your life and spend all that not-time with that loving family you don't have anymore, running that business you lost from the home you were kicked out of, until you're dead-

-These options are all bad-

...

-Instead does nothing as the bullets rip through his torso, blowing a huge chunk of flesh from his chest upon exit-

... -He sways for a few moments and keeps walking, just because that's what he was already doing-

Yes yes, it's quite a calming scent, actually. A bit different than most magic I tend to smell.
