[This is Ada. This is the one Vincent dedicated the poem to, the one Break mentioned. Dominic wasn't all too sure of their relationship to begin with, but now he's even more confused. From the way Break put it, it sounded like she was a pawn. But this...]

... Are you all right?

[onkittypatrol]

[She nods. Hello there, stranger. Somarium must be full of kind people, she thinks. That thought brightens her mood a little.]

I am well enough, thank you.

[unfearful]

[The loneliness and paranoia--Dominic can empathize with those well, though in different situations, even without the dream's help (and like with Javert's dream, he briefly wonders how he could feel those. Another one of Somarium's tricks?).

However, right now, Vincent is what's important. Dominic ignores the feelings and forces a polite smile.]

That... was Vincent Nightray, correct?

[onkittypatrol]

[Why do your characters keep doing this? :| She hesitates on an answer. What would he think of Vincent if she admitted to it. Instead, she frowns and offers a vague answer.]

Please do not think badly of him...

[unfearful]

[...]

What do you mean?

[onkittypatrol]

He isn't... [a deep breath, renewing her conviction!] He's very kind and courteous! He would never do me wrong, and only wishes for my happiness. I am unsure why he was portrayed in such a way in my dream and... I wish I could take it back.

[unfearful]

[So essentially, he's manipulating her. Dominic's silent for a moment, before the forced smile returns.]

I see...

[A pause. This is rather awkward to say, but it's for the sake of his friends.]

... Are you two a couple, then?

[onkittypatrol]

[FLAILING IS GO.]

N-No! I don't... W-Well, that isn't to say that-- Um. I wouldn't want to assume a-and, I have received Father's permission and...

N-Not to say that Vincent isn't kind, it's more to the fact that... A-ah... Um...

[Just some more sputtering and blushing. Look at what you've done, Dominic.]

[unfearful]

[FOR THE SAKE OF HIS FRIENDS. He'll deal with the awkwardness and guilt.]

Ah... I'm sorry, I didn't mean to embarrass you...

[onkittypatrol]

It's all right, it's just... um... [looking to the side for a moment, playing with a strand of her hair as she tries to figure out an answer. When she decides on something, she offers a small smile.]

It's.... I'm unsure what it is.

[And oddly enough, it's the truth.]

[unfearful]

... Well, if his poem the other day is any indication, he probably thinks highly of you.

[... A lie.]

[onkittypatrol]

[blushing again at the mention of the poem]

Ah... I would hate to assume...

[unfearful]

[And Dominic just keeps up with his forced and somewhat awkward smile, unsure what to say now. He still hasn't come across anything truly useful to him.]

I-I understand.

[onkittypatrol]

[It's okay, Dominic. Ada's curious about something too.]

Would I be right in assuming that you are familiar with Vincent?

[unfearful]

Ah, yeah...

[onkittypatrol]

[Her expression softens.]

I hope he has been kind to you. You seem very considerate, if you don't mind my opinion.
