He became aware he was nodding again at Nic, it was starting to become a nuisance to him, even if it were polite nods.<br/>"Thank you, sir, I shall. But not before something else that needs my attention," he said calmly and smiled a bit broader, then turned and looked along the line-up until he spotted Adi.<br/><br/>Ryan walked over to him casually and leaned in slowly, as to not add to Adi's discomfort, flashing a slight smile at Fi. He chose the ear at her side, so she might listen in and whispered so low only they would be able to hear it.<br/>"Calm down, Adonijah. Breathe. The lady has shown interest in you. Stand straight and smile polite smiles."<br/>He didn't study Adi for his reaction as he would have done normally ; quite the clear sign to those who really knew him he was concerned. Instead, he moved from the whore and nodded at Rubee.<br/>"If you would be so kind to take over, I will go after Anel and see what the problem is."<br/>He only waited long enough for people to respond, taking up his mask of cold and distanced efficiency again.
