"We'll figure it out," Joel says with a smile. "It can take time, but we will. I'm still trying to understand how to work some of my magic, so I know it can be frustrating, but I'll do whatever I can to help." There are definitely books and he has a feeling his mother might know the best places to begin. Once he and Caden talk more he'll have a better idea of whether or not he can tell anyone else, too, because he knows Aoife had been in a similar situation before. He isn't sure if she'd really be able to help, but it might benefit Caden to talk to someone who understands the power itself more thoroughly than Joel does.

At the comment, he laughs and looks at the party. "It's kind of amazing," he admits. "A year ago I wouldn't have been able to do something like this." And now he's here, not only attending a party, but hosting one in his home.
