and ... he flumps

not on his face or anything

"It's not the magic feather... just a reminder. "

"What did I do wrong???"

"Hard to say, could be you did NOTHING wrong"

"Did you think of the ball as being the source of the power? That could be it?"

"No! Just... I wanted to.... like... partnership? Like you know what they are going to do and then you play it??"

"But...."

"That's not a bad angle... go ahead, imagine again... imagine hte roar of the crowds. Cheerleaders bouncing as you get your break..."

"Shit, man......" But he resets and goes for it!

"Clock is ticking... the crowd is going crazy hoping..." He says

And Adam launches even further this time!

HE STUFFS IT!!!!

"Good.. now, don't try that again ..." A surprising thing to say

"What?"

"That was amazing, I want to do that again!"

"Glamour fuels cantrips.. you're running low" Magnus points out "You want to damage the little sidhe in your belly?"

"Huh?" startled.

"You'll lose your abiility to touch the ball.. pure chimera. You'll find things harder to remember... welcome to the downside of casting over and over again"

""Wait, what? I don't want to lose Chimera." He drops the ball and crosses to Magnus.

"Sir?"

"It's okay, Adam." The Fiona says and pats him on the shoulder "You're not doing anything wrong every changeling has to ration it a bit"

"What? No.... no, Sir, no, Can I do stuff that loses me Chimera?"

"More like losing your ability to interact with it. Take Nab? Even if you still see her, without glamour in you, you can't touch her. Make sense?"

"Yeah...."

Adam grins.

"RIght" A wink "SHE should still be there by the way. So, you're not hurting her, but you still want to watch how much you use"

"She better be!!"

"Adam, don't be grumpy. I don't determine how the dreaming works."

"I know....."

"Just... Nab? She's..... Sir, I have to have her. Ok?"

"Easy... it's clear she's a friend" He nods "And that's okay"

"Okay." Some easing.

"Nab's been there from the start for you hasn't she?" curious

"Yeah." with affection and care "I..... she.... yeah."

A nod "She's grown.. I don't just mean size either. Pretty advanced"
