[That is literally what he's done his entire life, Tommy, but he smiles, amused and more than a little fond.]
Now that is precisely the response a good person would have. [He breathes a sigh.] Well, then. Let us go find the librarian and confess this most heinous destruction of property. You'll likely be hanged for this.
Or shielding, but...yes. My talents lie in illusion, deception, telekinesis...conjuration. But I can't conjure a table. Thor's life would have been much easier if I could.
[He breathes a sigh.] It's a table, Tommy. No one's died or even wounded. You'll apologize and then we'll find some means of recompense. I'm with you, don't worry.
Yeah, well, the life I live, people don't tend to take apologies.
[That isn't the world he knows, and this place confuses him. He tries, he tries so hard but this place is constant confusion. None of the pieces fit together right. Or the people.]
Fine, hide it, whatever. Doesn't matter. Just another in a line of sucky birthdays. At least I get to be aware of this one.
Fair enough. [He frowns, looking over at his young friend.] Unless you'd prefer some other pastime. [And then, as a thought occurs to him, he grins.] We could have a bit of fun at the expense of some of the merchants in the commerce dome. It is a night for mischief, after all.

I'm guessing you can't fix this for real. Your magic is just about hiding stuff, or hiding you.
[Hiding doesn't make things better.]

You should leave normally if you wanna borrow those space books.
