[He chuckles. The bud at his ear flutters to life.]
Nothing as flashy as that, maybe. But normally? Yes. I'm a sorcerer.
[He remaneuvers the fork on his plate with a mouthful of cake, holding it out to Lovecraft. To take, to eat right off the fork - really, he's just curious to see what Lovecraft's priorities might be.]
Are you embarrassed about your powers?

[Again, something new - he glances between the fork and Solomon, as if a little unsure...but takes the final distance to take that bite with his mouth.]
Mmph. [And a swallow.] A sorceror implies...multiple...abilities.
[The question gets him thoughtful.]

[He keeps his wrist steady, eyes crinkling with delight at the give for Lovecraft to break the distance.]
People fear what they can't understand. And abilities, magics, anything like that... they can be very, very hard to understand.
[Fork meets ceramic, a subtle noise as more pastry is gathered.]
Would you like more of what I just gave you?

And what would you think you would do, if someone decided you were not important anymore - not deserving of anything anymore - and couldn't have the things you wanted? You wouldn't want to just sit and take it, correct?

Finding like-minded people. Finding a place that you can rely on for safety, even if it's just with each other. Watching in what ways and places we show our gifts.
But, most important... believing in yourself, and what you're capable of, even if others will never do the same. Feelings are our strongest power. We cannot control how people react to us. But just because we may scare the world does not mean we need to think of ourselves as frightening.

I do.
It's not where I wanted it to be. It's had other places come and go with it, as I get older. And sometimes, I still wish it could be better. I have a lot of responsibility weighing on keeping it a safe place.
But at least I can still be exactly who I need to be that way.
[He gently lifts the fork back up. There is more cake on it.
Wiggle wiggle wiggle you know you want some]
