Awww, poor Briar ;_; Don't worry, Adam probably won't notice/pry if/when they meet and if/when it comes up cause he's got his own well-worn avenues of avoidance. If you call attention to someone else's pain, well, it calls attention to your own >.> As for the magic... points taken :) I'm not familiar with Briar's canon, but he sounds like an interesting char and I look forward to any/all CR we may have! :D

Well, I shall still try to be on my best behavior *nodnod*
