Now that the hat was dry thanks to the drying spell, Vindictus levitated two mugs from the sideboard that always contained snacks and drinks. The mugs landed on the coffee table and he tapped each one twice, then put his wand away.

"Here you go," he said and handed one of the mugs of hot cocoa to Simon. "This should warm yer insides a bit."

He picked up his own mug and sat back. "So, have you figured out how to replace Josh in the upcoming game?"

No one ever said that Vindictus was subtle.
