ADAM
Seal my heart and break my pride
It was surprising to hear so many familiar names fall from Remi's mouth: Adam had known that some Outlanders came from the same places, but so many from one? "Wait...Edrei, like, Eddy Edrei? She was...posh? Fucking hell, that's weird. I used to be married to a Duchess and I knew so many posh fuckers at the top of things. Edrei isn't like them at all." She actually had a sense of humour, for one, which was something he firmly believed left as money was gained.
Amalia being 'un-demigodded' was certainly news, though not news Adam knew how to take. Simply nodding, he filed that away in 'things to obsess over and make bad choices with later' and shifted in his seat, looking out over the beach and tide and drawing lines in the sand with his boot.
"Ha. And you...you're feeling satisfied, with just him?" He asked, the question a little more vulnerable and revealing than he'd like: he was pleased to be asked something he could move into more confident grounds with. "Yeah. We kinda...lost the marriage title, though. Think it was too much pressure for both of us. Now we're just...y'know, together. I think he's very much a...one-person-forever kinda guy."
I've nowhere to stand and now nowhere to hide
