"I certainly feel like a man considering all the stress and drama I have been through in such a short period of time. Plus I do believe that it is considered quite manly to take a punch for the one you hold dearest," Adam said with a little smirk. Well...at least those muggles were always making it seem like a noble and manly thing to do.

At the suggestion of going to the hospital wing Adam shot Louisa a slightly nervous look. "I have been considering it, but I am not really a fan of doctors." In fact Adam had made a point of avoiding them if he could help it. And there was that whole secret not giving Joao the satisfaction were he to find out..."I think it's getting stiffer," Adam said, reaching his hand up. "I keep trying to move it around, which hurts like no one's business, but it doesn't seem to be helping. Guess his punch was a bit more forceful than the one I received a few years ago." Yeah...Adam definitely didn't remember it being that bad before...
