[He did his best to ignore the undefinable way his heart sank as he made his way to the nearest exit, carefully avoiding the stage area where Trucy's friend was and keeping a wary eye out for the security guard. After all, it wasn't as if he was returning to an empty hotel room. He was looking forward to seeing his friends again after spending the whole night away from their unique brand of collective craziness. And it wasn't the last time he would get to see Trucy, he would make sure of that.]
[Maybe he was simply mourning the loss of a special experience which would never be repeated in quite the same way.]
[He had texted Rogue during his cautious journey through the maze-like innards of the theater. She was waiting outside with the rental car by the time he finally reached the street.] Enjoy your little magic show?
You have no idea! [He beamed at her as he climbed in the car, making no effort to rein in his enthusiasm in the face of her sister-like teasing.] It was so cool! She's got to be one of the best magicians in the world, man. She even managed to teleport an audience member across the stage!
[Rogue glanced away from the street to smirk at him.] You're impressed that she managed to fake doing something that you can do for real?
[He didn't miss a beat.] Of course! Why wouldn't I be? What she does is a lot harder than what I do, hands down.
[Rogue shook her head.] If you say so.
[They continued their companionable conversation as they wound their way through the ridiculous Los Angeles traffic toward their hotel.]
