"'Thank you' works," she replies, her smile tempered by the concern in her eyes. How little kindness have others spared this woman, that a chocolate coin is enough to send her into shock? Is this why the Nightmare has her so closed off, so fragile? The people who loved her most are forever out of her life, but Adia makes a silent vow to fill that gap as best she can.
Her gaze drops to the way Amelia holds the coin close to her chest. "When was the last time you've eaten?" she asks curiously. "Do you want me to get something? Or we can go together."
The way Amelia phrases her question makes her smile falter. So suspicious, even if Amelia is still attempting to tease her. "He wants to spoil me," she says with a soft shrug. "And he likes to shop for clothes, but his taste isn't the most practical for the life we live now. I did need a new coat, though." She thinks that Caspar would appreciate Amelia's tailor, but she isn't about to ask for a recommendation. He needs to earn her friend's trust first.
