Ian noticed that Caleb seemed to get very, very happy. That meant he'd have to start working on an antidote that would take away that effusive joy.

Wait...what? Love? AJ had jumped all the way to saying she loved Ian? Adi refused to let that feeling of being heartbroken wash over him. "She doesn't mean it, she doesn't mean it,'' he repeated in his head. But still...she never had told him I love you. But suddenly Ian got the words that Adi knew were meant for him. Ugh!
And Ian was doing what he did best. Running away. "You wait right the-'' Adi began, moving after Ian very much intending to give him a punch or two. Two would be better since he was lacking proper strength. Even if it was not Ian's fault. But then AJ was shoving him...the Hufflepuff over balanced and suddenly found himself sitting on the floor.
Greeeeat. Adi flopped back on the floor. Maybe he could take a nap and when he woke up this whole thing would be over. Besides, he felt sooooooo tired. Since Culloden was addressing him now, he forced his eyes to train on the man. "I know, Dad,'' Adi said warily and not even realising he called his Professor DAD. He was THAT tired.Hehe. "Still...couldn't she have looked at me first?'' Sigh.
Ian noticed that Adi was still glaring at him, but there really wasn't anything that Ian could do that would be beneficial at this point. He realized that AJ was under the influence of the potion and he couldn't stop that. Then he saw Adi get thrown on the floor by accident and Ian felt really bad. This wasn't really supposed to happen, was it?

A trick? "There's no way my feelings are a trick." She was oozing with love. This was REAL. Adi loves her? "He's never told me that before, besides it doesn't matter. All I care about is you." She breathed him in deep. AH! Real love.
"No, no, no, no, NO!!!" This was all wrong and she even stomped her foot in protest. She didn't want those things with Adi, she wanted them with Ian. He didn't love her? It's okay Ian, you can admit it now." This was a safe place here.
Adi's balled up fists did not go unnoticed by AJ. She would stand between the two because there was no way that AJ was going to let Ian get hurt. The lion noticed that Adi had been knocked to the floor from her shove when she scurried off after Ian, and under normal circumstances she would have helped him up. Really, he would have never been down there in the first place. This poison had a hold on her, and it was as if everything that Adi and AJ had was gone.
There was something that she was supposed to be doing with Angel, but she couldn't remember right now. All she could think about was Ian and how good he looked in yellow. Hubba, hubba.
And then he STILL had to deal with AJ.
AJ. I know that right now, it feels like that. But it's not like that at all. I want to do what's best for you and that would be to give you some space so that you can sort out your feelings.
Ian grabbed a vial and swallowed it quickly. It was a sort of quick swallow and he didn't notice any ill effects at the moment because of AJ trying to hold onto him. As he was about to speak again, a wave of nausea took him by surprise and he used his 'free' hand to cover his mouth. His head started to hurt a little as he tried his best to swallow the bile that threatened to expel itself from his belly. The pain of swallowing caused a burning in his throat and he needed to sit down. And he remembered he would have to fight it to make an antidote for Caleb. SO MUCH GOING ON!
