Felix Sonderlei

"... Margot, where is that picture of Felix?"

"Which one, darling?"

"The one wherein he demonstrates his aptitude for douchebaggery."

"Oh! The lake picture... Here it is, Noble, on the fridge!"

"You see, dear guest, this is why Mister Sonderlei is a douchebag. A talented, well-meaning douchebag, but one nonetheless. It's an unfortunate issue with arrogance, I believe."

"You're selling him short, Noble! Felix is also very good at forgetting to clean his own cutlery."

"How on Earth did I forget that?"

"Quite easily, dear. I'm not sure you've ever touched washing-up liquid."

"I have a wand, Margot, why on Earth would I need to touch the special dish-soap?"

"It just doesn't wash the same with the wand, and you know that just fine!"

"Of course. Anyway... Excuse our little domestic there. Where were we?"

"We were insulting our dearest friend in front of our newest one, Noble."

"Ah, yes! Well... We may say a lot of rot about Felix, but he is truly a marvellous friend. Very enthusiastic about Egypt. He almost cried when I bought him a book on Ancient Egyptian curses last Christmas."

"Poor thing. All he wants to do is graduate and get to Egypt so that he can study the magic that the Ancient Egyptians used in their pyramids and tombs."

"He's going to get himself hurt."

"Or worse."

"Yes, he might come back with two heads or something."

"Noble!"

"Pardon me. No, really, do pardon me. I have a class to attend. Pleasure to have made your acquaintance, by the way. Margot, would you be so kind as to escort our guest from our humble home?"

"... bite me, Noble."

Felix had been in Gambit's once or twice before - you know, when you're thoroughly drunk and you're not quite sure whether what you're walking on is the ground or the wall? Yeah, that'd been when Felix had ventured into Gambit's Bar. Usually because his friends needed a top up before they continued the trek home.

But Felix wasn't drunk this time! He wasn't even happily buzzed, just happy in general. Noble, Margot and Felix had just arrived in Wing City for a week-long holiday. Which, you know, was fine if you were Noble and Margot, but Felix was the ever-there third-wheel, and he'd had to leave the hotel before he spewed at how romantic the pair were being.

He wandered past a few patrons and then did a double-take.

"Cool!" He hadn't thought before he spoke, but damn if that creature wasn't super new and exciting. "Oh, uh! Sorry!" Felix couldn't hide the grin, but he did manage to look sorry for staring at Vasantha. "I've just never seen someone like you before!"

Felix's grin only grew, eyes twinkling and crinkled at the corners with sheer excitement - this was what he loved about new discoveries! It was a rush, it was exciting and new.

The young man enthusiastically grasped the strangely shaped hand in his own and shook it in greeting. "No, no, definitely didn't mean to offend you! I've just never seen someone like you - I mean, I'm from England and England's pretty boring anyway, but you're interesting, y'know? Oh, uh." He paused to gather his scattered wits. "Nice to meet you, Vasantha. I'm Felix Sonderlei. I don't mean to be rude, but... What are you, exactly?"

"I have no idea what any of that means, but it sounds awesome," Felix enthused, nodding. "It sounds awesome." The enchanter gestured to one of the nearby tables and quirked an eyebrow in question. "Do you want to sit down? I'll get you a drink! Can you sit down? Can you drink? I can sit down and drink, I mean, but you probably know that because I'm a very boring alien when it comes down to it, right? Although it's so cool that I'm an alien! Gosh, I'm talking a lot. Sorry. Excitement. It's like a drug," Felix laughed, shaking his head.

"Oh! Er, yeah, sure. As long as you know where we're going, because I have no idea. My friend, Noble, he knows this place pretty well... 'cept he and his fiancée are busy at our hotel, so I had to leave. I guess it's kind of like when I'm at the university library before a deadline and everyone's panicking because they haven't done any of the work. It just ruins the whole place, right?" He didn't even know if Vasantha had universities where he was from.

"But yeah, if you know somewhere else, I'd be more than happy to follow. I can always interrupt Noble's night to get him to come and find me if I get lost."

"Gambit's?" Felix clarified happily. "It's, uh, a weird bar. You get all sorts there, from what I've heard. I'm not gonna lie, I'm usually drunk off my arse when I'm in that bar, but you do get some strange folk. And I don't mean alien-strange, I mean just... people that aren't right, y'know?" Felix shuddered, grimacing. "Some right strange folk there. And then there's some really awesome people there too! Like you!"

"Huh?" The enchanter had to give that a moment's thought, mind carefully picking the words apart and delving into the meaning behind them instead. "You can, like... You can tell what people are thinking?"

That was either really cool or really embarrassing. Or both. Probably both.

"I've only been there a few times, but it's been like that each time. Noble says he's been there before when it was about empty and it was just a nice place. Until this guy with a lion came in. Then Noble left."
