He smiled. "Well, it's nothing much. I'm a wizard after all. So it's not uncommon for me to make such things out of nothing."

"I'm still impressed. And I'd like you to tell me more about it," Leo said.
"My invention?" Eden asked.
"Sure. Whatever you call it. Tell me more about it."
At that moment, Eden knew something was wrong.
He smiled. "Is that so? I'm flattered that you wish to see my invention. But I don't think I'm with it here. So maybe next time we meet I can explain more about it."
Leo leaned back. "Oh. I think it's still in the library where we left it last night. So Damien can take you there and you'll bring it, since you probably know where it is."
Eden paused. He could see the line of things. And he could tell how it was going.
He could smell a plan. A plan against him.
