As it was, Dax knew someone was there and it could really only be one person with the strength of wards he put up. So Dax shuffled around, intentionally making noise in one area before ducking into the opposite corner. As soon as he did, he saw the spell shoot past his head where he was just standing, but that gave him a mark. He came in low and grabbed the other man around the waist, hoisting him up and flipping him onto his back with Dax's knee pressed against his chest and a wand at his throat. He knew immediately that he'd been right and this was Rook.
"Hey buddy," he said with a grin, speaking in English instead of their native French. "I was wondering when you'd show up."
