"It's nothing to worry about," Adrian answered reassuringly.
He refused to worry her by telling her the truth. Sure, he would be lying to her, but it was for her own good, no?
Placing the letter down, he smiled apologetically at her.
Before he could say anything, she asked him, "Is it really nothing to worry about?"
He could see the fear in her eyes. Whilst his reassurance had helped a bit, she was still terrified.
What if Adrian got injured?
He could certainly protect himself, but… no one was invulnerable. And why was he being so calm?
Adrian told her, "I promise you, it's nothing to worry about."
The next thing he did shocked her.
With an apologetic look on his face, he told her, choosing his words quite carefully, "Now, if you'll excuse me, I'm going to pay Xavier a visit. I need to… ah, consult him about something."
Briar quirked a brow, "Consult him about something? Now?"
