I mean, yes? Of course, I am. I'm trying to think of every excuse possible not to walk out there into a mysterious city in a place that isn't anything like home!
This is a land that does not know us, just as much as we don't know them. We may use magic, but I don't think we should forget our humanity. You're not going to be alone. And given how timid you are, I imagine you won't hurt anyone. Magic requires a calm and confident soul, according to our mentor.
Can your courage find some hope to hook onto, for the sake of yourself?
You reeeally do not get who you're talking to, huh?
[ Courage? Calm? Confident? Bruno sure feels like he's none of those whatsoever. Still, he sighs and has to decide whether he has the energy to keep arguing over this or not. ]
But I get the distinct feeling you're gonna keep at this until I agree...
We have very little time to accomplish something very important. The least I can do is help us get over the first hurdles. Those of us that come from magic need to be there to set an example for the young.
[How old must this man be... his late 40's, perhaps his 50's? And he's had this gift of his since childhood - whether wanted or otherwise, that still meant it was something integral to himself, where many others were starting from complete scratch.]
Come. Just one trip out. I won't ask you for any more than that.
...yeah, kids should not be following any example I set, ever.
[ Following his lead would more or less entail hitting the bricks. Don't like what's happening? Just walk out! You can leave! Being social? Shopping? Even cops if you're quick! ]
Besides, I'm pretty sure you count as "the young".
[ Young but very magical, but he digresses. He's pushing his chair back and getting to his feet with great reluctance, but he is, in fact, doing it. ]
[ Ancient one? Fledgling! Terrible. Well, mockery aside — and he's damn sure it's mockery of some sort — Bruno is getting up from his chair but before they go? That hood is coming up, whoosh, right over his head. Yeah, this will make it a little more tolerable. ]
Well, uh, lead the way? I have no idea where the city is from the manor.

Please, oh ancient one, teach this fledgling your ways.
[heehee]
Let's go take a look at what they have. Even if matches aren't available, they might have another sort of firestarter.
maybe wrap up here, handwave shopping?
