Adam gulps a little at the ominous statement. He's never seen Julia do anything drastic, but he knows from overhearing his parents that she can be... vigilant. "So I stay careful around Rene, and around Huanani too. Just in case." He frowns. "Rene seems like the kind of guy who keeps his cards close to his chest - pardon the pun, but I'm going to be in Obelisk, so I should get a good amount of time to interact with him, and hopefully get some information. As for Huanani, I think if she was going to hurt me, she would have done it in the chapel. Then again, she wasn't really in the best state to try something..."
"What do you mean he's stronger than you? You've got, like, twice his attack points!" Adam turns away from Julia to show that he's talking to his 'guest'. "According to Huanani, you can see and feel what I do. I'm more intimidated by opponents I haven't left unable to walk straight." Adam flushes with pride, then remembers his mentor's right next to him and flushes again. "Greeeaaaat... I'm not someone's property, at least. If we're bound, though, does that mean you die if I do? Do I die if your card gets destroyed?" His red face drains of color as he remembers the plot of a fantasy movie he saw once, and the hero's death. "In any case, this doesn't change things. I'm here to kick everyone's ass and use this place as a stepping stone to become world champion - this magic stuff is a complication, but it doesn't change my goal."
