Adalina was beginning to feel something akin to anger sink in. She could feel the muscles in her hands and arms tighten. This was the part she couldn't control. The anger that lead her to the change. 

"I respect your choice, but I can't keep letting people get hurt on my account. It's not fair in any way, shape or form." She kept her gaze on the floor, trying to maintain control. "You're very kind. As is Cassandra, But I don't want to be the reason anyone gets hurt. Call me stupid. Whatever. This was the punishment agreed upon for Cassandra and it's bound to happen soon enough so why not get it out of the way and put an end to the paranoia." 

She flexed her fingers, trying to release the pressure. She didn't want anymore issues.
