Understood.

[Not long after, Gary should hear a knock on his door.]

[Gaston's family was its own brand of preppy asshole - and status-obsessed to boot, so color him impressed. He steps inside, giving the interior of the house a good once-over.

When Gary asks him that question, he puts on a bit of a show of putting a hand to his temple and sighing heavily.]


Thus far, I've found them a haphazard and witless bunch. "Colorful," as you put it when we first met.

...Really?

[There's genuine surprise in his voice. One of the first things that'd immediately disillusioned him to the other magi was how uncooperative they were when he made his little speech about cooperation, after all.]

[...Ah, wait. He quickly catches himself, looking away and clearing his throat with embarrassment. He can't show surprise over something like this; he has to show that results like that are simply to be expected when he's at the helm because he's a cut above the rest.]

Well, as I said, I've experience with leading.

[Gaston's mind is still caught on Gary's recognition of his leadership qualities, trying to figure out how to appropriately respond when Gary shows him the portal.]

A realm... that you rule over.

[He repeats it with awe, stepping inside after Gary. Once he sees what Gary has on display within - once he sees the sheer level of detail and organization in Gary's meticulous information-gathering - his mouth drops open slightly, wonderstruck. The fact that this appears to be some sort of war room, well, for a soldier like Gaston who had a very "si vis pacem, para bellum" viewpoint on leadership... it's only one more reason to be impressed.

For the moment, he appears to have entirely forgotten himself; his eyes travel around the room, entirely engrossed on the sight before him.]
