Oh yes, he actually had liked her in a romantic way he merely hadn't wanted to admit it thus far. Exhaling softly, he looked up toward her once more, fully aware now of just how much he had actually said about it. Sighing softly, he frowned at her assessment of herself. "You are strong in many ways that you cannot see; just believe me on this, alright? We'll head off to the magic shop like you've suggested and we'll have a look around." He figured that she had a pretty good idea there, which was kind of ironic considering that she hadn't been too happy with herself. Regardless, he figured that they were going to go and find the shop in question. "We can always pretend to be looking for him for some other reason and then go and ask around. That wouldn't be a problem." People were always looking for each other in such shops. Some magicians became quite famous.
