​​​​[ Having had time to recover from the fight, Wanda looks no worse for wear. She's outside in the abandoned village, out of the glare of sunlight, moving her fingers slowly. Thin red wisps of hex energy weave around her fingers. A small rock, part of a doorframe, and a water bottle are moving in a slow, lazy circle like they're being turned on an invisible Ferris wheel. ]

​​​​[ She's quiet at first, concentrating. Then, she pulls the water bottle into one hand. The other two objects keep circling. ]

What is this called, where you are from?

​​​​[ Her mouth curves in dry amusement. ]

Is it magic?

[scarletcast]

[ She has to be in his vicinity to pick that up, so Wanda offers a playful, ]

You are thinking about how cool you are.

[competing]

No, that's what everyone else is thinking.

Guess you really are a mind reader, cuz you took the words right out of my mouth.

[scarletcast]

You are not as funny as you think.

[ Wanda in that case, do a better job of not smiling. ]

[competing]
