[As it happens, Felix is trying to move something heavy. He'd made a few purchases on the last planet and had them delivered to the Goldstone, but now that they've left the system behind, it's finally time to get all this onto a shuttle and to the Iskaulit. Somehow.

Mon-El finds Felix trying to shove a large box across the floor and he smiles warmly in response to the greeting. Funny that he can feel as chagrined as he is relieved. His progress had been maddeningly slow and he, as usual, had not bothered to ask for help.]

Ah, at my rescue yet again. Yes, I think I do.

[spacebro]

[Mon-El bends down and picks up the box as if it was full of feathers—especially fluffy, insubstantial feathers. Super strength, am I right?] No problem. Where does it go?

[lord_wizard]

[A stack of books was one thing, but this is something else entirely. Allow him to look surprised for a moment before his face and mouth can recover]

...um. The shuttle, if you please. I need to get all of this up to the library. I don't suppose you'd be agreeable enough to repeat that feat on the Iskaulit?

[spacebro]

I don't mind at all. I didn't have a lot going on.

[But he does look curious.] Is something wrong? [He wasn't expecting the look.]

[lord_wizard]

No, not at all. I just...I realized you were strong, but...well, that rather exceeded my expectations, you might say.

[spacebro]

Oh, yeah, there are some powers involved. I don't always have them. [Did that sound mysterious?]

[lord_wizard]

[A little, but it's not the first time people have played coy about their abilities with him.]

No? Do you need time to recover your strength or is it some other factor?

[His curiosity helps him recover from his own surprise, though, and he moves aside to give Mon-El room to get to the shuttle]

[spacebro]

It's more complicated. It has to do with stars mostly. [Well, stars and then the creation Winn put together to fake it between yellow star systems that he wasn't given access to until they got to know him better since they didn't remember him at first.

He gets inside the shuttle.] Hopefully I'm good to go from here on. [Except Winn is gone so if something breaks... Or they all get taken to the Marsiva for a month and it doesn't go with them.]

[lord_wizard]

Hopefully? It seems to me there are plenty of stars to be had.

[And while he hasn't yet actually asked Mon-El to come with him, Felix moves to the pilot seat.]

[spacebro]

Specific kinds of stars. But it's probably not something to share in detail? [It feels like something Kara would want him to not explain at least and it does apply to her too.

Mon-El seems pretty comfortable with the arrangement on his own, getting thigns secured and then taking a seat for himself.] Are there any powered people where you're from?

[lord_wizard]

[Felix takes the evasion in stride, blithely pressing the buttons that begin to power up the shuttle.]

Not in quite the way you describe. Magic is the closest we come, and if the two have anything in common comes to a matter of some debate.

[He smirks over his shoulder at the other man. In the past three subject was a matter of frustration. Now it mostly held amusement.]

[spacebro]

Magic can definitely be very powerful. [And dangerous. There are types of magic users that are executed immediately on Daxam because of the havoc they've wreaked in the past.] Can you use magic? [Don't worry. He's not going to do that thing from the other bracket.]

(OOC: And this one!)

[lord_wizard]

[Despite the show of strength it hasn't really occurred to Felix to be afraid of Mon-El in any degree.]

I can, yes. [He makes an off-handed gesture and a small cluster of pale green lights assemble themselves in the air over his palm. These remain hovering in the middle of the cockpit even as he returns said hand to the controls]

Sadly none of it has much use in the moving of cargo.

[spacebro]

Well, that's what you have me for. [He's seen imps of the 5th Dimension reshape reality with little more than a thought, but he still looks suitably impressed at the green glow.] That's pretty. Probably comes in useful in the dark.

[lord_wizard]

[Honestly, this is about as visually flashy as his magic gets.

He makes a small sound of amusement] That's generally the idea, yes. Better than trying to light a candle if there is a draft, at least. Not that you have to worry about such things in space either.
