[zoion]

Ah, yes, but I spend a lot of time in the suitcase, you see.

[evasives]

Right. The magic one.

[zoion]

Would you like to see?

[evasives]

I am admittedly curious.

[zoion]

So long as you'll promise not to scare or hurt any of my creatures, you'd be welcome!

[evasives]

An easy promise to make.

[zoion]

In that case, would now be a good time for you, Mr Andor?

[evasives]

Perhaps in a few minutes. Where do you keep it?

[zoion]

In my rooms or with me or in the gardens. But right now, the gardens.

[evasives]

Then I will look for the man with the suitcase.

[zoion]

If you only see the suitcase, please knock!

[evasives]

I assume there are no other suitcases to be concerned about mistaken identity.

[zoion]

You know, that did happen the one time. But not here, no.

[evasives]

Is there more than one magical suitcase?

[zoion]

Probably; I doubt I'm the only one with one. But no, that one was not magical at all. Entirely ordinary and filled with baked goods. Quite delicious ones, too.

Still, the muggle it belonged to got in a bit of trouble opening mine. Some of the creatures got out, see.

[evasives]

And a muggle is...? Another magical creature?

[zoion]

Oh. Oh, no. Quite the opposite. A muggle is a person without magic.

[evasives]

And is that common in your world too?

[zoion]

More common than wizards, really.

[evasives]

So the wizards are the rare ones.

[zoion]

Comparatively speaking, certainly, yes.

[evasives]

Well. I have certainly learned a lot today, unexpectedly.

[zoion]

As have I.
