[ It's all idle speculation. Adrian is both horrified and fascinated. To think that an ordinary human had reached such heights as to contend with the nearest thing to gods in his plane of existence. He's heard of heroes like that, but even to Adrian they had seemed fanciful and distant. Entirely unlike ordinary people by the time the stories of them became known. Perhaps it's Martin's telling that makes John's humanity seem so apparent.
Adrian exhales slowly. ] Indeed, we do the best that we can.
[ As for cooking a planet... Adrian rubs the back of his neck. He thinks of Strahd's blood red eyes meeting his across the dining table. ] No... No, but even so, I try not to worry her more than I must. I suppose that past a certain point, the color of the flag is immaterial, and John and I must be sure not to take your respective loyalty for granted.
[ He smiles, a bit tired. He's done that already, hasn't he? Adrian looks down at his hands, not parsing the implication at first. ] We've been traveling together for over... oh, oh goodness no we aren't. [ He wrinkles his nose just a bit. There isn't anything wrong with the idea objectively. He even understands why it might come across that way... but it does feel strange to think about, and a bit off-putting. ] My apologies for misleading you. Lady Fern is like a sister to me in all but blood. I don't think either of us are interested in a courtship.
I... don't think of courtship much in general, to be frank. [ Still rubbing the back of his neck, where Strahd's mark remains, an unwanted claim. ] I suppose I can't say that I've been too busy... you've certainly managed it while saving your world.
