For a moment Adell had the face of someone who was going to say 'I told you so' but refrained from doing it, the words were basically written all over his face so there was no need to say it.

The fall had temporarily distracted him from the creature who had called itself Hexadecimal - what kind of name was that anyway? - and when Adell looked back up he noticed Hex was no longer on the spot she was before. Instead she was moving towards the kid and just like the Prinnies, Adell sprung into action at once. Placing himself between Hex and Keiichi, narrowly avoiding getting hit by the bat, with his fists up in front of him as he fell into his usual battle stance.

"It's not a very good style to get angry at someone who forgot their manners for a moment either," he reprimanded with a grin.
