“Excuse me?”, Markus spoke up softly, walking over to Nox. His coat a soft brown colour, with intricate designs sewn into them. They resembled the ones on the girl’s teddy bear as well, as all the plush animals Markus made had the same intricate designs, in some sort.

He kept a polite distance to Nox, not wanting to bother her or make her uncomfortable.
“I just have a question for you.”, he said and smiled softly.

Nox was fully alert now to the figure in front of her. She gripped on to the bear a little tighter but politely smiled back. She took on his outfit, the brown coat looked very pretty as the sun shone onto it. She appreciated he respectful distance, at least she could run if she needed to, although she found that his eyes were closed so maybe he wasn’t that much of a danger to her.

“Um…what question would you like to ask me, mister?”

“Do you believe in magic?”, Markus asked. He was curious, as he could feel the traces of familiar magic around her, though couldn’t quite place it. It was already so faded, that he could barely tell it was there in the first place.

“I’m sorry for the weird question, but I haven’t met a single person yet who believes in it in this country.”, he explained, chuckling softly.
