"Well heya, Harry. Thanks. And no problem." Ix says with a lazy nod to the new bloke. His wild black mane lags a bit behind. If there is anything that can stir him better than coffee, it's a tickle of the ego. Then as Lux snaps to and recovers, he chuckles a bit. "When I don't have one of those days, I'll let you know.
"Yeah, let's go sit and make merry ... or whatever." Taking the first few steps away from the other two backwards, Ix spins on a heel when he knows they're following and leads the way to a unoccupied table, grabbing a comment card, or stationary, or some readily available piece of paper on the way.
Sitting down, the Thearch takes a pen from his jacket pocket and scribbles an autograph that is either one he saves for fellow willworkers, or is just obviously coded so. Sliding it Harry's way when everyone is seated, Ix adds, "You can call me Ixidor here, by the way. Or just Ix, if you have something against three syllable words." Though his voice is that of a perpetual cool cat, it's clear that he's being humorous. And seems to have nothing against someone using his real name among other Mages.
The collective disbelief of sleepers offers its own protection. The more who think Adrian Isaacs is nothing more than a fast-lane rock star, the better.
