Greetings, Miss Black. I thank you for the warm welcome. I must say I have a rather bothersome complaint about London. It's dreary most of the time and it took me a long while to get used to, especially the summers. Summers in Shanghai were almost tropical in nature, though the winters were very similar to London's. May I ask where you lived when you were abroad?
I see. Mundanes have certainly come a long way since my time, though they have yet to figure out how to portal from one place to another. As for my abilities, I have experience in combat, most notably with a blade. As a Nephilim, I am able to draw runes on my body that can enhance my senses and my abilities beyond that of an ordinary mundane -- muggle, did you call them? There are numerous runes in the Gray Book that the Angel gave us so that we may protect the world against the threat of demons and downworlders. It may sound complicated but I would be happy to go into more detail at your request.
If I may -- you speak of the magical community, are you perhaps a warlock?
