[ Apparently he finds the drama amusing, or something ]

I fear those terms are unfamiliar to me, but you can but try? No one has been able to tell me how they receive the... signals? that allows the shows to play, nor from what world they come from, only that they do.

[eye_of_isis]

Fantasy is all this stuff, the faeries and dwarves and whatnot. Sci-fi is more like this Station, technology and time travel and robots.

[She takes the remote and sits down, poking around to find the guide]

[bythewaves]

[ There isn't one, or at least, not one that's in any recognisable language - Maglor watches her in interest, he didn't know the Re-mote could do that! ]

Ah, I see. I fear I did not know what a Tee Vee was until I came here, but a friend of mine was kind enough to at least explain a little. [ Not that House could manage more than convincing him it wasn't tiny people in a box but ] You have the advantage on me there. And I am being rude, forgive me. Maglor I am, might I know your name?

[eye_of_isis]

[Oh come on, that's just rude.]

Sadie Kane of the House of Life.

[bythewaves]

The House of Life? [ An eyebrow crooks up ]

A grand title. Mm, if I am being precise, I suppose I should say I am from the House of Feanor, but I doubt you would know that name. Well met, Sadie Kane. Tis a poor welcome this, I fear - but perhaps you will find something suitable on the Tee Vee, at the least!

[eye_of_isis]

Never heard of it, sorry.

[And the television is starting to annoy her]

What is the House of Whathisface?

[bythewaves]

I would not expect you to. [ Maglor shrugs ] I suspect we are from worlds far apart, after all.

Feanor [ he pronounces it clearly for her ] or Feanaro, if you use the the Quenya - is the name of my father, and so, I am of his house, even as he is of the House of Finwe, my grandfather. What of your House of Life?

[eye_of_isis]

[Oh, it's some boring old nobility nonsense. House of Winsdor, that sort of thing]

Egyptian magicians.

[bythewaves]

[ a tip of his head, curious ]

Egypt? Ah... and you are a magician then? [ Like Master Harry? say the Ambarussa curiously ]

[eye_of_isis]

[Sadie holds out her hand and mutters the Egyptian word for "fire" under her breath. A tiny little flame flickers to life, only to be put out when she mutters the word for "water"]

I wouldn't be part of the House if I wasn't.

[bythewaves]

Ah! [ his eyes are bright with interest ]

A marvellous skill that. There are some here with similar abilities, but I have seen them only use ... wands to work such wonders.

[eye_of_isis]

Oh, I've got a wand but it's mostly used in battles, not showing off like this.

[She says as she sways in her seat]

Probably shouldn't've done that right now, but whatever.

[bythewaves]

[ Alarm and he reaches out to her ]

Ai, forgive me, I did not realise it would cost you so. Sit you, sit, and I will fetch you a drink.

[eye_of_isis]

[She waves him off, standing on her own and making her way to the kitchen]

I'm fine! Just a little woozy from using those words of power. It happens, I'll be fine.

[bythewaves]

[ He follows her, keeping a wary eye on her progress, but he knows better than to try and help her, if she does not wish it ]

Then I am sorry I tempted you, in any case. I should have known - both Master Harry & Lady Hermionie have said that to use magic without wands is difficult.
