Yeah, I'm thinking either the spell at the lake goes awry, maybe because it is interrupted by some locals, or perhaps on the way back to the house/fields, Chall does his lay line spell, and that's the one that backfires. Either slip up would latch him to Wren, though maybe not noticeably at first. It all depends on how the feel goes in the post around then. I like how things are going, and I don't have any real requests as of yet. *Grin* I'm good, just hoping you're having as much fun as I am. And don't worry about the lag between posts. RL takes precedent after all!
