"You don't seem too happy to be here--I'm not entirely sure I'd want a mage from your world to come here and be just as upset." But Isabel gave the guy a sympathetic smile. Half of her didn't mind being here--but the other half was more than a little annoyed by it all, too.

His next statement had her grinning widely at him though, eyes bright. "Well, you're not the only one, you know! I mean, I'm curious about the magic here, sure, but I do want to get back to my world at some point!"

Isabel isn't really trying for a rivalry, but she can't help getting fired up. Fun, indeed!
