Fiametta's question struck like lightning in Brendan's mind. In a single, decisive, powerful flash his understanding of what he had accomplished was brought sharply into focus.<br/><br/>Using simple magical rituals to draw extra luck or prosperity to oneself was a common enough practice - but drawing actual, physical material, let alone living beings to yourself! - from across time and space? That was the stuff of myth and legend. Things like that just... Well.. they just<em>didn't happen!</em><br/><br/>And so, Brendan stood there, a slack, rather stupid look upon his face. His mind reeled at the many implications and questions spinning in his head like a whirlwind at what he'd just done. After nearly a minute, Brendan found his voice and managed to speak, though in a somewhat limited capacity.  "I... book.. Uh... the circle." he managed to get out while making a few feeble, half-witted gestures in the direction of the summoning circle. His eyes trailed over the area of the ritual, then back to the stairs to Kat, to the now descending Alex and coming to settle upon Fiametta.<br/><br/>"That... I did... I did that and... I ... WOW!" His eyes went wide as he shook his head in disbelief, raising and shaking his hands at the sky... or ceiling, rather.
