[Unfortunately for her, this version of Adell was much more experienced with love, and its feelings... and he was better at reading people because of it. Rozalin's silence about the matter, and the fact that she was dodging the issue entirely, was quite suspect right from the get go. Adell expected something more akin to a furious reaction, not one so... subdued.
But he knew well enough that a subdued reaction didn't mean things were okay. No, in fact, that meant there was much more of a problem than he anticipated. His only guess was... she really did feel that way about him as well. And though the possibility existed that her Adell and himself were different, feelings like that are not so easily separated. He figured he'd be in much the same position if Rozalin had told him something similar.
Still, he'll answer her question.]
That one's... kind of a long story. Complicated, we'll say. But it's definitely not one of his. I'm pretty sure none of his would really do you justice.
[Still, that picture of her is... surprisingly nice. And tasteful.]
...but when I had the chance to get it, I didn't want to miss it. Couldn't leave out one of the most important people in my life.
