"It's not your fault," Caspar replies tiredly, his voice lacking its usual sarcastic dryness. He almost adds that it's not what they think, either, but... maybe it is? Frak. Frak. He'd been so busy fuming over Reynard's transgressions that he hadn't bothered to think of what sort of impact it'd have on Adia.
Goddammit, Caspar, you had one job. He sighs to himself before turning his head to look at Lawrence and Tamminy directly.
"Reynard was one of the first friends Adia made in the Nexus," he explains. "They were very close. Platonically." And thank god for that. His hands shake a little at the possibility of the alternative. "Naturally, he was an epic douche this winter, but Adia had been hoping that he'd come around..." Obviously not. "This is right after she learned that someone she considered a friend has been stalking her for the last year... a serial killer, no less... she was just starting to enjoy being in the Nexus again..."
His shoulders rise and fall, a shrug of acquiescence. "Sure, tell me the rest before we get there." He can scrub out the unsavory details and offer her a sanitized version if necessary. And he does want to know what happened specifically. He needs to learn if Harrowheart is a threat to Adia, too.
So far he's withholding judgement on the death knight. But one thing's for sure -- Reynard is now tied with 'Josh' for the top spot on his shit list.
