*It's late at night, wherever you are. You may be planning on turning in for a good night's sleep.
But no. There's the sudden sound of a thunderbolt tearing through the sky - despite the fact that the rain may have ended hours ago.
If you look outside, you may notice two
redstringed redsynonymhere whirling through the air, fighting with clear intent to kill each other.

But by the time he comes to the source of where the noise was, the battle is already over. ...And he finds... Remilia and Rachel to be having tea. Presumably in the middle of a battle-scarred area.
He stops and just looks... kind of confused.]

...Uh. I take it you two were sparring, or something?

--*Looking at Adell.* ...what do you want?

Sparring? We were attempting to kill each other.

Well. I heard the sound of fighting. I'm part of the Blue Rogues, it's my job to investigate and put a stop to it if it's endangering the village. ...Looks like I don't have to worry about that much.
[And then Remilia's statement catches him.]
...Trying to kill each other? Remilia, what the hell is going on?

Do not interfere, little boy, or you shall come to regret it.

I refuse to allow you to speak to him in such a manner.

[Adell doesn't flinch at all at Rachel's tone. In fact, it just causes him to steel himself. He shows no fear to the threat or insult, speaking evenly but with a tone that indicates he does not like being threatened.]
If you end up hurting someone else in your fight, it becomes my business, Miss Alucard. It's my duty to protect the people in this village and it's something I take very seriously.

And as for you, child, what right have you to step into a battle chosen by both of its participants? Do not think me so clumsy as to injure a bystander. My wrath shall claim the spirit of Remilia Scarlet and Remilia Scarlet alone.

I don't believe you understand. I have accepted Adell as one of my own. Any insults you direct to him, you also direct to me. I will not have it.

He decides to be more careful with his words for her sake. He's reasonably confident he could take Rachel in a fight if it came to it, but he would rather avoid it.]Miss Alucard. My right comes from being the leader of an organization whose objective is to protect the village, and the people in it, from threats, both from within and out. If two individuals willingly sanction a fight, it still does not give them the right to run rampant throughout the village. If other people get forcibly involved, then it's a threat to the relative peace and security that people have here. A breakdown of order is the last thing we need in a situation as bad as the one we are in ( ... )

*A slow, wicked smile.* And as you can see, the only damage I have done has been to the foolish girl standing before me. Your services are quite unneeded here.

Still, he stands unflinching, unwavering, in spite of that wicked smile. He's seen it plenty of times in the Netherworld, so any intimidating effect it would normally have clearly doesn't work on him.]
I am no one's vassal or servant. Remilia is not my superior. However, she is my friend. And I definitely do not appreciate you insulting her in my presence.
[He does not state it in a threatening way, but instead in a rather matter-of-fact manner.]
