Keenly aware of the other Renegade's presence, Adrian suddenly wondered if he couldn't just switch tactics and flat out appease Rodolphus.
"My Lord, it won't happen again, I assure you. It is barely a scratch and due more to my own recklessness than any ferocity on her part. As you said, she is like a squib- pathetic. I am certain I will have further chances to prove my worth."
Adrian drew his wand and briefly made eye-contact with the other Renegade. How prefect it would be to take a shot at the masked wizard, regain some of his masculinity in the eyes of Rodolphus. Yes.
"Langlock," he growled, snapping his wand at the other Renegade. "Let's see you laugh now."
Then he turned back to Hannah and muttered another spell. He peered closely at her and waited.
