feel whats out of place

Adam

You took notes on what you had to do
To get the piece of the pie that belonged to you

Arialla's smirk would have pissed him off if he was in the mood to get angry, but Adam decided not to let it hit. Instead he just smiled right back, rocking back and forth on his heels at the edge of his shadow-safety-zone.

"Oh, but I'm really cool. For real, I even have friends that hang out with Safrin and shit." Saying that immediately took his mind to Amalia, but with a discipline he'd had to learn over the last years, Adam drew himself out of that particular spiral. He could have that crisis later - right now he was trying to mend the schism in society, which he was obviously qualified to do.

Taking a couple of steps back and sitting down, making it absolutely clear he wasn't a threat, Adam gestured to the space in front of him. "Look, the worst that's gonna happen is that you don't like what I have to say, right? We both know I can't go into the sunshine there. If you really hate me you can drag me out into the light and fry me to a crisp." He punctuated this suggestion with a bright smile and a wink.

You've been waiting for this ever since you were young
Be careful not to choke on your tongue
