Tan shakes his head as he turns over his right hand, it was empty. Then his left hand, it was also empty. The boy was as noted wearing a short-sleeved T-shirt. As he smirks with a bright smile as he then points to his own left ear, then pointing over at Nolles right ear (left to Tan) with a clear intent for Nolles to check it.
If he does, he'd find somehow the same small coin is balancing perfectly behind that ear. Remembering Tan's size that should be even more impressive, given you should be able to notice him tiptoeing or struggling to try reaching like that.
Tan looks to Severus and shakes his head, looking around and from behind his cape he somehow draws a whiteboard and marker and writes something down in, well it was amazing handwriting, artistic and stylized and ofcourse as a result way beyond what a typical kid his size would be taught/knew how to do. 'No. I just don't like talking.'

"After time adrift among open stars, along tides of light and through shoals of dust, I will return to where I began."Nolles indeed ends up checking his ear, briefly pulling his hood down to do so... and he makes a noise of surprise upon ending up with a coin on his palm.
"T-that's not just stage magic!" he ends up exclaiming, completely surprised. So surprised, in fact, that he fails to catch Severus' sentence for a good while.
"I... guess so," he finally responds after a while, then he just looks around, as uncertain as ever. The markings on his left arm just glow gently and steadily.
He accepted and yielded. That is what I can tell you.
Creator of the Avatar Arena and its Discord server.Tan giggles loudly at Nolles response, spinning around and making a flourishing bow with his cheap cape before bouncing up a down on the spot nodding; lights blinking from his sneakers, pointing to his magicians cape and to the house of cards indicating, it was just stage magic.
He looks back to Severus now his quick show was over and just kinda shrugs in response to Severus.

"After time adrift among open stars, along tides of light and through shoals of dust, I will return to where I began."Nolles just shakes his head, knowing all too well that he would have sensed the movement if it was a simple sleight of hand.
He then looks at Severus, just sighing and nodding. He still seems slightly nervous.
"If that is what you say, then."
Creator of the Avatar Arena and its Discord server.Tan goes ahead and writes on his whiteboard again in the same beautiful handwriting. "I don't know. Talking doesn't normally help. Everyone at home's really loud so not like they hear me over fighting anyway." He responds a kinda sad message to Severus though it takes him a bit not really knowing what to say.
He doesn't do or indicate anything to Nolles, just still musing about his magic tricks, the sneakers blinking a couple times more from his playful bouncing before.

"After time adrift among open stars, along tides of light and through shoals of dust, I will return to where I began."Nolles, meanwhile, just begins to back off a bit, the markings on his arm starting to shimmer...
"I just... don't feel safe..."

Creator of the Avatar Arena and its Discord server.Tan shakes his head, with a clear look that he didn't want to. He just held the whiteboard close to his chest.
A few moment later he looks to Nolles backing off and writes another message. "Why're you not safe? We're not gonna hurt you." Is the message when he turns the whiteboard around and presents it out at arms length towards Nolles.
"After time adrift among open stars, along tides of light and through shoals of dust, I will return to where I began."He looks down at himself, at Sevarus' responds to him a frown on his face. "I'm Tan..." The boy squeaks out quietly, a little nervously in his voice at speaking, looking pretty uncomfortable doing such.
Holding the whiteboard to his chest as he goes over towards his house of cards, as he climbs and stands up on the chair so he can continue to build it.
Syme's out."

"After time adrift among open stars, along tides of light and through shoals of dust, I will return to where I began."The boy nods, as he kneels grabs a couple of cards before standing up properly and reaching over and very slowly and carefully adds the cards atop of his house, the boys hands very steady as he's successful. Smiling brightly before picking up the whiteboard again and writing another message. 'What kind of magic do you do?'

"After time adrift among open stars, along tides of light and through shoals of dust, I will return to where I began."Tan gives a wide eyed look nodding at the fireball. He takes a handful of cards from the complete pile and hops down from the chair, flashing on his sneakers ensuing as normal.
As he walks close, not-so-subtly knocking his cape so it bellows back as he presents out a hand of cards turned away from Severus. With his over hand it runs across and points to the cards, then to Severus and then the cards again.
The boy having a excited, childish grin on his face.
"After time adrift among open stars, along tides of light and through shoals of dust, I will return to where I began.""And that's only a sample of the magic I can perform."
Severus flashes a slight smile at Tan.
"You know, if you ever wish to see another kind of magic, I would suggest seeing a friend of mine. Her name is Thalia, and she's a practitioner of a rather... strange type of magic called Dynamic Magic. She's also rather quirky, but friendly and approachable nonetheless.
Tan smiles a little and nods, with a clearly interested and still impressed smile on his face, a bright grin.
After a few moments of not having a card selected, Tan raises a brow and straightens his arms out more as he holds out the cards presenting them up at Severus. Pointing again to the each individual card then to Severus Seemingly really wanting to do whatever trick the little magician had in mind.
"After time adrift among open stars, along tides of light and through shoals of dust, I will return to where I began."Tan smiles brighter with a little glee as a card is selected, he lets Severus look at it for a few moments, then making a eye-catching hand motion he turns the other cards around to show they're all different, from eachother and from the one Severus picked.// Then after a moment he pushes them all together neatly and slides the deck of cards into his front-right pocket on his jeans.
With a confident look on his face he puts out his hand towards the card Severus is holding motioning with his fingers that he'd like it back. He had a cunning, playful grin on his face.
"After time adrift among open stars, along tides of light and through shoals of dust, I will return to where I began.""It's..."
Neuff is blasted with the beam, and just... vanish ? There's a large flash of light or what-not.
At the end of the flash of light, Nicole will see a baby, dressed in Neuff's clothes, the baby does... baby things, like sucking her thumb.
"Yes ! It's a success !" says Cinke, rushing up to the baby to pick her up.
Nautolan picture belongs to Bonesmarinated on twitterSeverus simply hands the card back to Tan.
Nicole can only blink at the sight of Baby!Neuff.
"Okay... Call it a hunch, but I'm guessing you're the mad scientist Sister. Second, why would you need a machine that turns people into babies? Wait, let me guess: it'd pair nicely with that murderous AI you've been working on for a while now."

Nolles makes another 'eep' when Tan suddenly holds out his hands, and, keeping his left hand at his side, the markings shimmering, he points at Tan's right hand.
"...Uhh, is this it?"
He then turns to Severus, accepting the handshake.
"I'm Nolles... are you some kind of mage...?"
The voice, meanwhile, echoes again in Severus' mind.
"His soul accepted, and his body yielded. That is all I will say on the matter. And, to entertain your question, he was not."
