I've been thinking of making Crackers, which are a useful method of packaging one's gifts, should anyone be interested (For those that don't know, they can hold gifts

Smoke?

Magical crackers?

[facesdeath]

Erm, yes. They're quite popular within Wizarding society, and I felt perhaps the non-magical folk would like them as well.

[windmemory]

One thing at a time...

What's the wizarding society?

[facesdeath]

Pardon.

Well, it's... like any average society, I suppose, just - full of witches and wizards.

[windmemory]

Okay.

What's a wizard? I know what a hedgewitch is...

[facesdeath]

To put it bluntly, we're the portion of people in my world that can do magic. 'Normal' people, or Muggles, can't do magic.

A hedgewitch?

[windmemory]

Oh, like mages, then.

A hedgewitch is someone who doesn't know proper magic but constructs by instinct.

[facesdeath]

In a way, yes. I've heard the comparison made in regards to differing worlds.

Ah.

[windmemory]

Well I've never seen a cracker. If you make them, can I have one?

[facesdeath]

Of course. I'll add you onto the list then, yeah?

[windmemory]

The name is Lan.

[facesdeath]

Regulus. It's a pleasure, Lan.

[windmemory]

Regulus.

....does it mean something?

[facesdeath]

If I remember my Latin correctly, it means 'little king.'

[windmemory]

....that's terrible.

[facesdeath]

I've never held too much stock by names either way.
