Adam's eyes darted between Desmond and Elliot before they shifted to Quintella. With a nod, he guided the boy with a soft hand on his back to the table. "I know you're grateful, but you must convince someone if you want to call me big brother. Did I introduce you to my little sister?"
Wide-eyed, Elliot gasped as he stood behind Quintella. "The taming princess!"
"The what?" Adam crouched as Elliot leaned closer.
"The Pandarok," the boy whispered. "It was my target during Haldris' class, but she jumped between us before I could try to capture its soul. I fled behind a tree and saw how she cheered the beast until it grew comfortable enough to sleep in her pocket."
"That explains the taming part. What about the princess?" Adam wrapped his hand around Elliot's shoulders, lips twitching to stifle his building laughter.
"Because of you," Elliot simply answered.
"Me?" Adam pointed a surprised finger at his own face.
