It was infuriating watching people dance around their problems. Indecision was not something Adaria struggled with, she weighed the options, facts, the information available to her and then made a choice. It was incredibly simple, yet the majority of people seemed to struggle seeing the wood for the trees. If her cold delivery of the facts and observations made of him, helped ease that indecision, so be it.
