Ernie shrugged, but was thankful he hadn't made a terrifle faux pas. He didn't want to get his friend in trouble, or worse, end up in a situation that would require obliviators. "I did hear that they still have a concept of magic, even if it's nothing like what we do. It's interesting - I've even gotten into reading some of their fantasy novels. Such imaginations!"
Ernie smiled and waved off Wayne's apology. "No worries, my stomach's practically rumbling itself." He tentatively took a chip and tasted it, and liked how it made a nice crunch when he bit down. "I suppose there are. Maybe we're just more open about it too. Or at least I am, not everyone's out. I can't blame them, really," he said distractedly as he tried to get a hold on the 'big mac', wondering how he would get it in his mouth - it was huge!
