Zevran's laughter rang out, rich and full of mischief.
He observed her closely as she spoke of Rafael Acosta, noting the shift in her demeanour. The coldness in her gaze told him enough—this was a topic fraught with complexity and danger.
When Adaria mentioned acts of sabotage, Zevran's eyes twinkled with delight.
As she leaned in, seeking his counsel, Zevran felt a pang of something almost paternal. He had grown fond of her, this fierce and clever woman. He listened, his own expression softening.
He placed a gentle hand on her shoulder, offering a rare moment of sincerity.

Ah, the perfume,he echoed, playfully waving a hand in front of his nose.
Truly, some people believe that dousing themselves in it will mask all sins. If only they knew.

Rafael Acosta,he repeated thoughtfully.
That name, Acosta, isn’t there a very minor noble family with that name in Antiva?.Zevran made it his business to know everyone within reason in Antiva, it was always useful to know who could be potential allies and who might be enemies.
When Adaria mentioned acts of sabotage, Zevran's eyes twinkled with delight.
Ah, sabotage. Music to my ears, my dear Princess. The circus will bring quite a show to town, I assure you. Chaos, confusion, and a touch of artistry—just the way we like it.

You have my word, Adaria. I will remind you, whenever needed. Secrets are best kept in the heart, but it is good to have someone to share the burden with.He had a daughter, somewhere out there, torn apart because of the Crows. He always wondered what sort of father he would have been if he could have raised her and in some small way his relationship with Adaria showed a little bit of light on that question.
He placed a gentle hand on her shoulder, offering a rare moment of sincerity.
We will navigate these treacherous waters together, you and I. And as for Rafael, well... we shall see how he fares in our world. Until then, let us focus on what lies ahead. The future is ours to shape, one careful step at a time.He felt he owed it to Frankie to look out for Adaria, but truth be told he would have regardless. She was fierce and plenty powerful for a teenager, a good ally to have.
