It feels strange to give myself too much credit, if I'm to be frank.

( Adelis had a gang of street rats he'd been huddling with before, but he doesn't know if he can credit them with properly socializing him. Still, considering the sort of person he is, he doesn't know how he feels about crediting himself with the idea, either. )

But perhaps I was one of the first to needle him into it. One can't excel the way he has without knowing how to mingle with people.
