And that thing Adam had talked about doing for a while is finally done! I didn't think it would be over lunch, but I'm happy with it.

It took me a minute to remember... Adam has been waiting for what seems like forever to thank James for the first battle.

[quote]Adam was able to dodge the creature's first attack, but the second one struck successfully, sending him flying a ways back. Being hit by a creature more than twice his size was something the man had never experienced, and with any luck, he'd never have to do so again. It was painful. But upon reflection, it could've been much worse. It didn't feel like anything was broken and the nature magic user could breathe normally. Was this the "hocus pocus" James had talked about earlier? He'd have to thank him later.[/quote]

This is from Page 3 - 7 months ago!  And I'm pretty sure there were other mentions of Adam wanting to thank James for this moment, later in the story.

I'm proud of Adam for getting around to it! In context, it was only 72 hours ago for the characters lol.
