A spell is looking more likely. And worse, it will be impossible to spot here. So many people used magic just in their daily life. Even he was covered in runes now, nevermind the magic that he literally was at this point.

He shakes himself when they apologize.

"No, no, it's not your fault, Adriel. Dios, you're probably the last person who'd hurt anyone." At least from everything he can tell.

He sighs heavily. He can't help thinking that person put their faith in the wrong guy. When has he done more than let people down?

"I didn't expect you to have the answers. Or anyone. If it weren't for this stupid spell I'm under I probably wouldn't have said anything. I'm sorry to burden you like this."
