"I know. Some people just get weird when they get a label, especially by something they don't understand." He smiles then hums lightly as he considers if there are any terms. "Not that I know of. Everyone is just called 'people' or referred to where ever they're from. 'Mage' just gets added on if that's what you are."

The smile on his face widens a bit more when Hermione looks up at the mention of Fade, as if it's there. It's not quite that simple. The questions though have him sighing and rubbing the back of his head, fingers feeling out the bit of sweat that hadn't cooled from the air yet. "The ways to safeguard against that are... few, and rather simplistic, a couple of which you'd probably not like to hear. Pretty much staying vigilant and having the will to say 'no' is the only way. Not a rather fail-safe method, which is why there is so many issues when it comes to mages."
