Enzo is pacing the room, taking notes on anything that seems out of the ordinary (for Milliways). He's hung about (mostly on his belt) with assorted gear such as a practice sword, a personal forcefield generator, and a guitar.
One thing that's maybe strangest of all: he's started smelling things. Usually, around here, it's all matter, and things with enough energy for him to smell are the exception rather than the rule. Now... well, he's getting whiffs here and there.
And there's something that's far more than a whiff. Enough of an odour to follow to its source. Dirt... something burning... a powerful smell of the sea... and something he can't even identify. By the time he reaches Felix's table the smells are almost overwhelming, and they are definitely coming from the shinies on the tray.
Felix keeps shooting said shinies worried glances. As if he's expecting them to jump up or explode or something.
This, of course, means that he's not paying particular attention to people in the vicinity. He does notice them - which is to say, him - eventually, though.
Enzo barely acknowledges the greeting. "What the /dev/null are those?" he breathes.
They look like the kind of quest-driving items in Games that force you to trek all over the world to the point where you end up needing some kind of airship. Fancy that.
"The Elemental Stars," answers Felix with a sigh. "They used to hold nearly all of my world's magic, until my friends and I released it back into the world."
Quest-driving items? Trekking all over the world? What ever could you mean?
"That they are here, and with all their power from the feel of it, is... worrying."

"Oh, hello, Enzo," he says, distractedly.
