Harry stopped his humming and looked at Mickey, shocked. National anthem? He started to laugh, but he managed to contain it, mostly. The wizard still laughed, but it was much quieter. Mickey looked at him, questioningly. "Why are you giggling? It isn't funny!" Harry managed to choke out a response between laughs. "Wizards don't giggle. This is cackling." Harry reigned in his gigg- cackle fit and the pair returned to silence for a little while, before Mickey spoke up again to fill the void.
"I know magic too, ya know." Harry looked askance at the mouse. "Really? I thought that thing with the brooms was just because of the hat!" The mouse shook his head, a smile on his face now. "Not entirely. The hat helps, but it's because it's my master's hat and it helped me power the spell I put on the brooms." Harry let out an impressed whistle. "Not bad. I tried to animate a broom once and it kicked dirt everywhere instead of just sweeping. I don't have a lot of finesse." Mickey chuckled a bit at the image of a broom chasing the towering, duster-clad wizard around a house, but Harry cut him off. "But at least I could stop the broom." The mouse gave him a look of false hurt. "Hey, I've gotten better."
Harry looked out into the forest as the sun waned and Karl Jak's voice echoed through the woods. The part about the danger zones interested him, and while there was still light he repeated the trick he'd done previously, committing them to memory by associating them with the map. The part about the medkit being deposited at the lighthouse... that got the wizard moving. "Come on, Mickey." The wizard started back to the campsite at a brisk walk, not running for the benefit of the mouse and for the fact that they had enough time to walk. He explained on the way. "We need that medkit. Samus and Erza are all kinds of screwed up." And I want to give Ganondorf a piece of my mind about turning that magic of his on another person. The wizard's demeanor seemed to shift slightly, becoming more determined and colder as Winter gained more of a hold on him in the dropping temperature and his rising irritation. His shoulder didn't seem to bother him at all in that state of mind, though he wasn't actively drawing on the Mantle's power. "You want to see some fire magic, Mickey?"
