Do give Elias my regards, the next time you see him.

[And he does mean that sincerely, all of this is quite nice; he gathers up his supplies in his arms with the intent to keep them with him until he moves to pay. That said, he doesn't want to rush, either, enjoying taking his time just studying what's in front of him.]

I'm a mage myself, though I specialize in healing magic; I'm proficient in dark magic as well, though not as much so as my father is. I prefer the healing side of things moreso, but I know I'm going to inherit his legacy when he's gone, so it's important for me to be well-studied.

[Magic is moreso just a means to an end for him, though, as opposed to something he feels defines his entire life.]

I'll have to try the bubble tea... I've never had anything by that name, so I admit I'm curious now.
