Chandler was actually dead serious. He had a certain way of acting that was, however not. He certainly gave plenty of thought to his attitude. In fact, he always gave thought to it. Many might have accused him, for that matter, of considering nothing but his attitude. He honestly thought he was a convincing black mage. Black magic users were cold and evil. He knew this to be completely true.<br/><br/>Nevertheless, it was hard to picture him as that at all. It was almost like he was pretending or something. Frost could probably at least sense something about his skills, however. If she could, then she would have realized that part was at least matured. He was adept at magic. Even if she couldn't, then she still knew that he was able to get through those barriers by seeing through them. That would have at least said that he knew what he was doing.<br/><br/>"Yes, I want a home to call my own again since my last kingdom ejected me, but are you ready for the kind of pain and anguish opening such evil forces can bring?"<br/><br/>The way Chandler had said it made it look like he was trying way too hard to be spooky, but at this point he was banking on the fact that she probably had nothing left to loose and he did need a home after all. He just didn't want to loose his credit as a frightening user of dark powers, but by the looks of it that was thin to begin with.
