"It helps that I have a very fine teacher," it's really very, very nice that Adia takes time to show and explain things to Paladin. The Tiefling is deeply indebted to her.

It's hard to judge, some people are very welcoming of social touches and others not so much. Since Adia didn't recoil in horror friendly hand pats might happen again. And indeed, she's very much like Roslin, younger, a little more hardened though.

"It is my pleasure," Paladin assures her with a broad smile. "You are excellent company and have been so very helpful for me it is literally the least I could do."
