When Adam saw that Vashti was solely going to use her wand to form a shield charm Adam shoved his own wand back into his pocket. It looked like the girl wasn't particularly hostile which was good....of course if Adam had to duel he would in order to protect Louisa, but if he could prevent it that was obviously the better option. When Louisa shot him a confused look, wondering why he hadn't just grabbed a bunch of the dungbombs himself Adam returned the same confused look. "You looked like you had it covered," Adam said with a sheepish grin, which was really only loud enough for Louisa to hear. As soon as he had finished saying that he heard Vashti address him, but before he could respond Louisa was jumping down the girl's throat. Adam awkwardly closed his mouth that he had partially opened in order to respond to the girl's question.

Adam merely stood there, like a kid caught in the middle of two friends fighting without really knowing what to do or say. As he listened to the two bicker he gathered that not only had Vashti stolen the love potion from Louisa she had used the potion herself. Well...wasn't that an unexpected twist! Honestly Adam felt like he was right in the middle of a muggle soap opera instead of near an incredibly dangerous tree trying to block out the god awful smell that was hovering around the entire area. He figured until he was addressed again perhaps it was best to just be a mediator and protect the two of them from killing one another. Perhaps he wasn't the best prankster in the world, but was that such a bad thing?
