He gave the boy a bro!hug. Hugs made everyone feel better! "Keep your head up and your happy memory close.'' His own happy memory (one of them) of him and AJ was something he never wanted to let go of.
"Let's go, James,'' Adi said as he took off again but making sure that the firstie was by his side. And so off went the duo again with the older Hufflepuff keeping his bespectacled eyes trained in taking in as much of their surroundings as possible. "There's a huge puddle of mud coming up,'' he informed James a few minutes into their latest trek. They could have either gone around the sole side that the mud wasn't occupying or jump over it. Adi being Adi, chose to jump over the thing. He took some steps back and took off at a run which allowed him to sail over the puddle, though he stumbled on his landing and tumbled forward, coming to a stop on his belly with a soft 'Omph!'. Heh.
"THAT WAS FUN! Let's do that again!'' Don't mind him, folks. He was a crazy badger. He focused on James again. "Need any hel-'' His question was cut short when he noticed (as he was looking away from his partner and surveying the maze again) another figure approaching them. A LETHIFOLD! Adi raised his wand, ready to get the thing away from them barely noticing the dark corridor behind the figure. "Let James do it.'' The thought came to him at that moment and it was a great one!
"James! You're up! Remember focus on your happy memory.'' LET'S DO THIS! He on the other hand, would remain here on his belly, looking at the show, though if James needed any help, he would jump right up.
He eyed his wand again not catching the 'James' bit the first time. and nodded. "I....think my wand's broken..." he muttered softly. It never did seem to work when he wanted it to! Maybe it was about him being sure of himself. He didn't know, all he knew was it didn't seem to like him much! "Let's do th..." Wait what? He stared after him as he moved away. Did he just call him James? "Okay!" he said and as he approached watched Adi run and jump over and tumble forward. He...wasn't going to be able to jump that far? Was he? Running jump, yep. He started running himself and jumped.
*SPLASH* MERLIN! And soaked with muddy water. Yep, made it halfway and splatted in the center. Standing there dripping and walked to the other side. That hadn't, exactly went well. He blew some water from his face and sighed shaking his wand to shake the water off it. "Err...no, I think I'm go..." He squeaked as he saw the figure approaching them now. Dripping still he 'Torie' he muttered to him. No, not Jay. MERLIN! He swallowed as he stared at it but focused finally on the memory. That thing was scary! AND HUGE! "EXPECTO PATRONUM!" he cried out circling his wand at it and a poof of silvery fur appeared and faded.
The lethifold vanished as Torie stood there his eyes still wide.
