Adelaide can't help but wonder what people like Isaac, people who have known her these past years and lived their lives alongside her and presumably formed some sort of opinion, are thinking now that this has come out. No one seems especially floored, which may not be surprising as the only people who were close to her knew the truth to begin with. Maybe it's good that she didn't make all that many close friends here in the Capitol - or maybe her past is why she didn't.
With all the coordination of a tiny drunk, Charlie lifts both hands and bangs them back down, giving a shout just to hear his own voice when Isaac waves. Adelaide smiles a bit. "He does insist on growing, no matter what I say," she says, ruefully.
But then they're moving on, getting down to things, and Adelaide is glad. She's anxious to have this out and over.
"That's all true," Adelaide agrees, nodding. She presses her lips together, tucks back bright red hair, and thinks back. "I thought my brother died in Huntsville," she says. "I talked Rob into coming here, to try and find him, but everything I found convinced me he was gone. It was May, this year, when he found me. I didn't know his... new title," she says. It helps that only that very last bit is a lie, and she sticks by the truth as much as she can. She doesn't feel guilty sitting here lying to Isaac, but she knows that sticking mostly to the truth is the best way to go undetected.
