Adonijah was barely able to pull himself out of his own thoughts enough to acknowledge Fiona, looking to her with an anxious, somewhat forced smile as he squeezed her hand.<br/><br/>Ryan approaching him to speak to him was a complete shock, and he wasn't even able to react to his words. He stared up at the master of the house, dumbfounded, unable to even breathe for a long moment as he watched him walk away, his mouth open slightly in surprise.<br/><br/>Gradually, his grip on Fiona's hand lessened. Maybe it was from holding his breath for a moment, but he felt a bit numb, and shaky. He eventually was able to force himself to breathe again, his hands trembling a bit. Someone had shown interest in him? Were they actually going to hire him?<br/><br/>Oh, god - what did he do now? A slight look of panic in his eyes, he looked over to Fiona, hoping she could give him some answers.
