Dominic had just lifted his fork, in a pretense to appear more casual and indifferent to this business then he would have felt for weeks to come, however it was left hovering over his plate as he stared at Adelaide.
Dark eyes wide.
His voice was momentarily lost to him, and instead he listened as Adel spoke of the Wizard, raved about his beliefs, the ideals and goals he promised those that were true to their heritage.
Once the shock began to melt away, Dominic realized he was feeling something else. Something different.
He was actually pleased. Pleased to know where she stood, what she thought.
Suddenly, he wished they could share another kiss. Make the moment more lasting, even more special.
He smiled, an expression that warmed his gaze. "I know of them, and I wish to join them as well. For weeks now, I've been trying to get more information on them..."
Lowering his fork, he slipped his hand under the table, where it was hidden from view.
Where he could reach over, and give Adelaide's arm a slight, encouraging squeeze without it being fully exposed to the others at the table.
Dominic leaned in more, voice lowering only further. "Perhaps we can support them together?"
