David had to admit that he was kind of confused. Looks like the damage from the backfire might have been more extensive than he had originally thought.<br/><br/>He listened to Able with a non-believing look on his face and not really bothering to hide it. The guy looked like serious business and without his wand, David was not much of a threat. The fear was there, but not necessarily the fear of imminent death, more like the fear of torture. He was a bit curious as to who this guy was though.<br/><br/>"So let's get this straight, dude," David reached for his wallet, slowly as to not alarm the shade, "if what you're saying is true and you were sent on some mission to chase down this guy, I had absolutely nothing to do with him." He opened it and looked at his ID. He wasn't sure how good of an idea this was. The High Wand Enforcers would be more than glad to take him in, or kill him. A vampire would most definitely capture him and take him to Edmund. But he wasn't sure what a shade would do or know. David was famous among witches and vampires for various reasons, but would a shade know who he was and, more importantly, would he take him to Edmund or the witches? Would he know the bloodline that his name was attached to?<br/><br/>"My name's David...Aowel." After saying that, he realized he probably should have used a fake last name on his ID. It never really occurred to him because it didn't matter too much. Even if Edmund or one of his guys tried to look him up on the internet, the spell wouldn't let him find him. Actually, the spell might even work on this shade, if he was sent for David, or if he had particular interests in handing him over to Edmund. If he did have an interest in doing so, he probably would see and hear a different last name, or feel fuzzy in his brain or whatever the spell did to hide David.<br/><br/>He handed the shade his ID.<br/><br/>"Look, I'm not a necromancer. I'm a witch, and more importantly I'm a student here." He also handed him his school ID. "I just wanted to have a normal life and get away form all the supernatural bullshit in my life. But no, you had to come along and ruin all that. I was sure that you were hunting down some innocent humans to eat or whatever, so like the good witch I am I followed you. I didn't know you were hunting down a necromancer. All I knew was that you're a shade and I had an obligation to send you away."<br/><br/>He wanted to trust that this guy wasn't really a bad guy. That his story was true.<br/><br/>"So...I'm sorry. About the...almost sealing you away forever thing. Um...can I have my wand back?" David smiled, trying to look gentle and non-threatening.
