Felix idly munches on a piece of starfruit, careful not to drip any juice onto his robes. "Yes, Caramip, what you say is true, the Elemental Planes and several of the Outer Planes are permeated and defined by the elements that they represent. But, is it the Elements which control them, or do the Planes serve as the tap for all of the Elemental energies in our world? It's difficult to say whether the Elemental energies of the Planes seep into and shape our world, or if they are simply the embodiment of the primal forces of nature that have existed on our Plane for eons."
Felix examines the diagram for a moment, carefully considering it. "I would say that, while the undoubtedly interconnecting nature of the cosmos certainly complicates things, with enough effort, it makes even more powerful knowledge available. It is not difficult to understand that fire burns, and that fire may provide you with warmth, but it is another matter entirely to understand how OCEANS might be set ablaze. With only a little more thought and work, you could destroy an entire navy, rather than just one ship. I see the interconnecting nature of the Elements and the Planes as a blessing and a challenge, rather than a hindrance. I trust you feel the same? I doubt that you rely upon only one of the myriad Elements to fuel your spells, just as I never rely on one particular kind of summoned creature to accomplish the tasks at hand. In addition, this intricate web of Elemental and Planar relationships is an absolute necessity..." Felix plucks the piece of fruit from the diagram representing the Nine Hells, popping it into his mouth with a smile. "...With but one of these links broken, everything falls apart..." Felix finishes chewing and swallows the fruit, turning in response to the woman's request.
“Sir! Would it be a terrible imposition – if there is room of course – for the two of us to join you and your companions at your table? I would not bother you, but there is no other seating in sight and my friend has travelled here all the way on foot.”
Felix shakes his head, and returns the woman's bright smile. "No, I would not begrudge you such a simple thing. Please, have a seat!" Felix gestures to the diagram upon the middle of the table. "By all means, help yourself." Felix stands up to pull out two chairs for the women, waiting for them to be seated before he returns to his seat. "By the way... My name is Felix. It is my pleasure to meet the two of you."
