When Adam said she looked like she was close to being insane she let her eyes roll behind her glasses. Before starting some witty banter about now the two of them looked and she even let out a small laugh at his come back to her jab about him being the pretty. [Color=0072bc]"Hmm well I guess if you think I'm pretty I'll take it sweetie."[/color] She said back with a little bit of a smile because when he said it, it wasn't much of an insult in her mind as her calling him pretty. [Color=0072bc]"And that was a cute little comeback." [/color]

She couldn't help her reaction to his grabbing her, even with barely knowing him one thing was for sure. He was rough, she wasn't used to being randomly grabbed and she really didn't like being thouched. [Color=0072bc][I]Maybe if I tell him that he will stop.[/I][/color] She thought for a moment. [Color=0072bc][I]But maybe part of me don't want that because I might be crazy[/I][/color] She thought to herself again as she let out the sigh from the relieve out of her mouth that came from his touching her arm. Soon he started telling her about the hell that he had been through. 

Without even thinking about she reached out to touch his cheek, to comfort him, something that he seemed like he needed it. Though as soon as she froze she thought about pulling her hand back, and almost did. Until she felt him lean into her touch, she gave a soft smile letting her thumb run across his cheek slowly before pulling away, feeling almost a pull to lean in and try to kiss him. She couldn't let that happen, not only did he have a fiancé, but it had made things so much which for some reason last time. 

She allowed herself to slide down the wall beside him as she told what her last few days, it might not been physically painful, but emotionally and mentally it was hurtful. To be company alone, no one to talk to, not even Taylor was allowed in other than to bring her food and check on her. There had been no contact with anyone for four days, and not by her choice. All the while being both pissed at Adam and wishing he was there as he clearly didn't care about the rules. There were a few times she thought she was going to go crazy. 

She had felt him sliding  down the wall beside her as she talked and her smile grew wider as Adam laughed about her setting someone on fire, and she looked and him before laughing a little bit. [Color=0072bc]"I really hope so."[/color] She said back with a laugh, leaving out the fact Grace had threatened to put her in the cage if it happened again. Ciara didn't even notice as her guard dropped completely and next thing she knew her knees were pulled to her chest and she was asking him what they were going to do now. She could feel his eyes on her as she stayed kind of curled up into a ball, it likely wasn't helping him not see her as weak. But she was both physically and mentally tired and didn't care.

Ciara let out a sigh with Adam said that he didn't even know, part of her just wanted to get up and go home, because that part of her [b]really[/b] hoped he knew what to do. Though the rest of her understood, because Adam was right it was too complicated, even for her. Her body tensed up for only a second as she felt Adam's arm around her shoulders but it was gone rather quickly and she let him pull her over against his shoulder. Oddly it made her feel better and slowly her knees came down from where they were curled to her chest, and she let out a sigh closing her eyes. All she could think of was how unfair it was that he somehow smelt so freaking good.

She listened intently as he spoke about his coven, about how they would take their time killing her. Just when she was about to pull away from him and ask why she had to know that? Why couldn't he just leave her in the dark about that. Ciara felt his face press into her hair, heard the words he said, and her eyes opened in surprise. She was the one that was quiet as the heavy silence hung in the air around them. Ciara's mind working a mile a moment trying to think of how to respond to his words. [Color=0072bc][I]"You actually care what happens to me and if I get hurt?" "If you care so much why do you keep snapping at me and leaving, don't you know that hurts me?" "Why is it so bad to care about someone else?"[/I][/color] 

Ciara moved her hand slightly and slowly lifted Adam's shirt a little bit where she could see some of the marks, before looking up at him. [Color=0072bc]"Adam, even if you don't believe me. Seeing this and not being able to help you feel better, hurts me inside. So I know what you mean." [/color] She said before putting his shirt back down her eyes looking into his for a moment before she sighed a little bit and took ahold of his arm softly before he could move away letting her fingers trace around the bumped up edges of him yang sign. [Color=0072bc]"Besides there is the small chance your coven won't find out about me, but if we try to stay apart, clearly I'm not going to be the only one to die slowly."[/color] She said quietly her tone sad before she stopped tracing his mark.
