[h3][color=d6ecef][center]Leonhard[/center][/color][/h3] [indent][i]Hmm?[/i] Did Leonhard make a mistake? Adara responded to his greetings, but to call her apprehensive was putting it nicely. Could it be that the book she was reading was important and had to be completed now? Or perhaps Leonhard had come off too brashly, although he was certain he had spoken appropriately. Leonhard pondered this. She was sitting in the corner, by herself, but she had bothered to attend the welcoming party. No. It was not Leonhard's fault -- or at least, he was not the root cause of the issue.[/indent] [indent]Then what was? Leonhard took a moment reconsider his choices, thoughtfully placing a finger to his chin. Adara was by herself, reading a book at the welcoming party. It wasn't necessary for her to be there to read the book, so surely there must've been some incentive for her to be here; otherwise, it'd be far more practical to read in a more secluded location. Lastly, she was irritated before Leonhard had arrived. Putting these together was enough for Leonhard to piece together the puzzle.[/indent] [indent][b][color=d6ecef]"Ah, you've caught me, Ada. I have no reason in particular to bother you."[/color][/b] Leonhard smiled, and lowered his finger. [b][color=d6ecef]"Truthfully, I just thought that you looked intelligent. And I like smart people, I'm curious about them. So won't you please humour me before delving back into that book of yours?"[/color][/b][/indent] [@jasbraq]
