"The way you act around him tells me everything. You were so ready to help him at any second." She was still smirking as she started to put dinner on their plates.

Adelina shook her head. "No… I just… care about the people that work for me. I want them to be well while they serve me instead of treating them like garbage." She took a plate and brought it, as well as utensils, to Abaven on the couch. "Here's dinner." She sent him a smile.

Kalevi shrugged and dropped the subject. She brought her and Adelina's plates and utensils to the living room and handed Adelina her dinner.
Abaven graciously accepted the food and returned her smile. "Thank you."

"You are welcome." She sat down on a chair and took her plate from Kalevi. "Thanks, Kalevi." She started eating. "Oh goodness, this is so good! I've missed your cooking so much."

Abaven nodded in agreement. Kalevi smiled at the two and said, "I'm glad you both enjoy it!"

Adelina ate in silence. Her mind started racing, was the person that stabbed Abaven the same person the followed her in the woods? Are they in relation with her brother? She was basically staring at her plate, absentmindedly eating.

Kalevi was busy wolfing down her dinner, as usual. Abaven noticed Adelina's lack of actions. "Is something bothering you?"

Adelina snapped out of it and shook her head. "Nope… nothing at all…" She sent him an unconvincing smile. After finishing her last bite, she set down her plate and leaned back into the chair.

Abaven raised an eyebrow, but remained silent. Both him and Kalevi finished their dinner quickly. Kalevi looked at Adelina and asked, "Did you two want to stay the night?"

Adelina glanced at Abaven. "I think that would be the best idea if you don't mind, of course." She stood up and took everyone's dishes and took them to the kitchen, returning quickly.

Kalevi smiled. "We have a guest bedroom already ready."

"Just one?" Adelina sighed. "I'll take the couch so Abaven can be more comfortable through his pain." She smiled at him, hoping he would agree.

Abaven shook his head. "No. You should take the guest bedroom. You are her sister, I am just your escort."

"But you were stabbed in the gut. I think that is a tell tale sign that you should sleep in the bedroom." Adelina argued back.

"Adelina, I think I can survive sleeping on a couch. It's definitely an upgrade compared to what I'm used to anyways."

His eyes widened when he realized he said her name. "Forgive me, milady. I didn't mean to speak your name."
Kalevi was holding back laughter at how cute they were.

Adelina smiled when Abaven said her name. Honestly, she was glad he did so casually. "I don't mind actually… and just because you can survive the couch doesn't mean you shouldn't sleep on the bed. I can survive sleeping on the floor, but I wouldn't want to." She said with a small smile still on her face. She looked over to her sister and sent a small glare.

Abaven let out a sigh. "Fine. I won't argue with a customer," he grumbled and slowly got up, using the couch for support. Kalevi led him to the bedroom, and then returned to Adelina. "So, you really don't like him?"

Adelina had a satisfied smile. She looked up at Kalevi as she came back in the room. "I mean… of course… I don't. Why even would I?" She said in denial while leaning back into the chair.

Kalevi rolled her eyes. "Hon, you can't keep secrets from me. I know you like him. Or at least, you will."

Adelina sighed in slight defeat. "… I mean… he is growing one me a bit… But there's no reason he should be… he's just an escort and he's not even allowed to say my name." She glanced over to her sister then down at her hands.

"And yet, you allow him to say your name." Kalevi shook her head, smiling. "At least you admit that he's growing on you."

"I would actually be happier if he could say my name…" Adelina smiled back weakly. "Maybe I should tell him that tomorrow. Would that be weird?"

Kalevi shook her head. "That wouldn't be weird. It's just your preference,"

Adelina nodded slightly, "Okay, I'll tell him tomorrow… Speaking of tomorrow do you have any extra blankets and a pillow I can use?" She said as she sat up.

Kalevi nodded, and left the room. Not even two seconds later, she returned with a large blanket and a fluffy pillow and handed them to her. "Goodnight, Adelina."
