He frowned, glancing back at Alex. "Not even a bowl of glass full of – wait… What's that??…." He asked, noting the odd flute.

"It's my flute" said Alex, "I've had it for as long as I can remember."

"….What does it do?" Tobias asked, his head still turned over his shoulder at Alex.

"It's just a musical instrument" said Alex

"Oh…" Tobias said with the smallest bit of disappointment. "I thought it was magical or somethin'…." He turned back and watched the fish in the water, letting his fingers slip by them.

"Not everything has to be magic" said Alex, "Honestly Life would probably be simpler without it."

"Then you should come to our world…." Tobias muttered. "The only magic people have is physical illusion…. You know… Pulling rabbits outta hats, making the card disappear…. The basic stuff…."

Alex rolled his eyes. "Unfortunately I have a family here that I care about too much to leave behind."

"That makes sense… I was just saying you should pay a short visit…." He swished his hand around in the water when he suddenly twitched, yet was oblivious to it, as he was too busy watching the fish.

Alex noticed the twitch, but thought nothing of it as he turned back to polishing his flute.

Tobias swished his hand around the fish, almost petting them. Aww…. So close… He twitched again, and he got a sudden chill.

"You cold or something?" asked Alex, noting the weird twitching.

"A little…." He took his hand out and dried it off on his hand on his shirt. "I mean… I'm alright otherwise…." He twitched again.

Alex watched him suspiciously, but ignored it some more. I'll mention it to his sister later…

Tobias plucked a blade of grass a little ways from him and stuck it in the water. Some fish 'sniffed' it but others swam right by. "What do these fish eat? I bet they're hungry…."

"Honestly I have no clue" said Alex, "I'm usually more worried about what I eat."

"Well of course… But I'm not hungry…." Tobias mumbled, sticking the grass further into the water. Here… Try eating this….

Alex smiled, pulling out a small loaf of bread from his pocket. "Try this." He said holding it out to Tobias.

Tobias grabbed the bread from Alex and said thank you to him before putting it in the water. The fish went crazy, swarming to the bread piece as it floated slowly down the river. "Whoa!" He cried, "Those fish really like that bread!"

Alex blinked in surprise, "that was unexpected…"

"Hm? Why? Do these fish not eat bread?…." Tobias cocked his head, glancing back at the river.

"I've never seen fish attack something that quickly before." He said, laughing.

"That makes sense…" He glanced up at the sky. I wonder what everyone else is up to…. I mean… I guess they're doing their own thing, I suppose…. Tobias turned back to the river and watched the fish swarm the bread, which was now a sad, soggy piece of stuff far down the river.

Alex finished cleaning the flute, lifting it to his lips and playing a few notes.

Tobias flinched and whirled around. "Oh – You're gonna play it now???" He asked, a bit eager.
