Adam rolled his eyes slightly. Well, if he was going to have to be literal...

"Actually, some part of me knew, but I wasn't listenin' to it at the moment. It's not polite goin' around knowin' stuff all the time, so I don't - just when I hafta. Does that help?"

The Metatron's questions got an odd look at first. "I never thought about it that way. They're just there to be my friends. Like I'm their friend in return. I dunno if they'd tell me when I've made a mistake, 'cause most times they wouldn't know, but they sure tell me when they're not happy with somethin' I'm doin'. Usually by hittin' me or throwin' stuff at me." He grinned. Adam liked having uncomplicated friends.
