Ilya volunteers some information first. "I am good with runes, very good. It's something I study and practice in depth. But I am strongest as a conduit."
The words stun Shane for a moment and it's a fair reaction. It's clear that Shane understands the full implications of the admission. "A conduit?" His voice is soft as he repeats the word.
They stand side by side, both staring at the menu and not talking to each other.
Ilya chances a look at Shane's face and can still see the shock lingering in his expression. But he's checking for pity and feels a small amount of relief that he can't seem to find it.

“Uh, hello,” Ilya says when the cat rises up on its legs and stretches, back bending and paws curling down. Its ears flick and it gives him a dour sort of mwor in return. Witches have familiars, Ilya knows that. And this is a perfect spot for a familiar to be, on the stoop of the witch's house. Logic follows that the cat must be the witch's familiar.
So he says, very politely, “Shane is expecting us,” even though he has no idea if that’s true or not.
The cat yawns, tiny sharp teeth flashing at Ilya. Its ears flick again and then it curls up into a ball of fur, right there on the brick wall despite the fact that they’re hurtling towards the end of November and it’s fucking freezing outside.
“Is that good or bad, do you think,” Ilya asks Seryozha in Russian, gesturing at the cat when the familiar doesn’t move again except to curl its tail over the tip of its pink nose.
Seryozha’s phone screen flashes white in the darkness. That is a cat, he types, and Ilya scowls. It’s a fucking magical cat.
