Everyone was interested in his age. They never could let it go. "I am old enough to know better and young enough to not give a d**n." He told her in a flat tone. "We are not exactly immortal like vampires but in a way we are. Our wolves keep us from aging or becoming sick. However, we can still be killed like a normal human or if we decide to stop changing then we will grow old and die in a normal life span. I have lost too many good men to count because they decided to stop changing all on the account of a woman. I have never lost a female that way. Guess it goes to show women are smarter...." Adam trailed off as he realized he was rambling. "Old enough." He said again as if to re answer her question. What was it about her that made his tongue so lose? It was almost as if he could sit down and tell her his life story. It was more then a little unsettling.

Tilting his head, Adam listened to Amanda's answer. After her few comments and nervous reactions, Adam walked up to her, put two fingers under her jaw and tilted her face up to look at him. It was his intent to tell her how much she was worth. That she did not deserve to be a blood bag, no one deserved that. Then he realized that he could not tell her such things. He did not know her, therefore he refused to pretend that he did. Promises of her being someone worthy to be around was not his to give. Instead he slid his thumb under each of her eyes, wiping away her tears, then pulled her gently into a hug.

With a roll of her eyes, Avril ignored his comment about her smell. His comment about her lover, however, made her pull up one side of her upper lip away from her teeth in a growl of warning. "I do not have a lover. Much less Adam!" she spat the words from behind her teeth. Then his comment began to slowly sink in. Jason was a mind reader, he knew about her arranged marriage... She was engaged to Adam?! "Son of a..." she mumbled under her breath. "Adam the Marrok..." She was to marry Adam? She truly did jump out of the frying pan and into the fire now. Jason's last comment made her look back up at him, a flash of anger and sadness gleaming in her eyes. "You know what? Your right." She got of the desk ans stalked towards him. "At least you are not an Omega. Your free to do what ever you please! Are you just so lucky that you don't have to obey any kind of rules." She stopped just a hairs breath away from him, tilting her head up to look at him. "So just soak it in! Gloat if you want to! Because even though I have to /obey/ any alpha, at least I have people that will always have my back and that is more then you will ever get!" She stared up at him as if daring him to do something.
