While listening to Saras, Marz helped himself to a cigarette from Jeremy's pack. He never took an interest in smoking until Tristan came along. The dragon really liked Jeremy's sweet tasting cigarettes, and Marz found that he rather enjoyed the flavor as well. Had he known that most of Jeremy's cigarettes contained something other than normal tobacco, he would have left the things alone.

Marz continued to dig through the backpack, frustrated at not finding any flint and steel to light the cigarette with. Forgetting about Saras' talent with fire magic, he excused himself then hurried over to the cookfire. Once the cigarette was lit, he grabbed a plate of ribs to munch on before returning to Saras.

"Help yourself," he said, putting the plate down between them. Marz didn't understand why Saras was content to be a genie when it seemed that genies were nothing more than slaves. He also didn't like the idea of getting too close to Saras, knowing she would simply vanish after Ravin made his wishes. As long as he kept his distance, he wouldn't miss her too much once she was gone.

"You're lucky you had masters that let you hang around for a while before they made their wishes," he said, after taking a drag from the cigarette. A grin came to his mouth when he didn't cough this time. I must be getting used to these things. "You'd never be able to spend any time with humans if your past masters made all their wishes right away."

Marz ate a bit of the rib meat then went back to smoking the cigarette. Although he was starting to feel quite relaxed, he had no idea it had anything to do with the smoke he was inhaling. He glanced at Jeremy when the youth decided to join them. Marz watched in fascination as Jeremy took a cigarette from the pack and lit it with fire that came out of a small oddly shaped object. "Where'd you get that magic item?"

Jeremy laughed as he sat down beside the genie. "It's not magic, Marz. It's a Bic lighter." The otherworldly youth proceeded to explain that the lighter held butane and flint, before he demonstrated how to use it.

Marz grabbed the thing out of Jeremy's hand and fiddled with it until he finally got it to work. "Awesome!" Grinning, he tossed the lighter back into the pack then finished the rest of his cigarette. After snuffing out the butt, he lay down upon the smooth rocks and stared up at the high ceiling, feeling very content. "Once I dry off a little, I'm going to go and check on Tristan."

Jeremy tore his eyes away from the nearly naked well-toned body of the ex-gang leader and focused on Saras instead. The genie was lucky because he didn't seem to have any problem with raging hormones. Although Jeremy now knew that he didn't love Marz, he still felt twinges of desire for him at times. Hell, seeing a topless Jade enter the water earlier got him all hot and bothered as well.

"Being a teenager sucks sometimes," he whispered to Saras, after taking a deep drag from his cigarette. "All of a sudden my body seems to have a mind of its own. I bet you don't have that problem cause you don't look at all bothered by the half-naked bodies around here."
