Not so many words today, it was a lot of exposition and that's harder to write than good old dialogue, but alas, it was needed. Here's a rather short sample:

"I really think I'd rather face a demon than a bunch of hormonal teenagers," Marcus sighed. Secretly Peter had to agree with that sentiment, however he wasn't about to voice it.

"I for one feel much better about you facing teenagers than demons. It's... safer."

Marcus snorted.

"You clearly haven't met that many teenagers lately."
