Adelise had largely kept to herself from the moment they recruited the bandits until the moment they reached the trading post. She clearly did not seem optimistic about their situation, even after learning of their stories. They had fallen to these levels, she wasn't optimistic about them climbing their ways back up. Still, she did seem to lose her hostility towards them, though not her caution, and not towards Kressle. Still, she was never more than arm's reach from her sword at any time, and she insisted on only eating food that had been in her eyesight for every possible moment. She spent most of her off-time sharpening her blade and trying to be as ready as possible for ambush or betrayal, and thus tensed up pretty quickly when riders approached as they neared the trading post. Still, she relaxed and let out an audible sigh of relief when it became clear they weren't dealing with bandits. In fact, her demeanor in general seemed to lighten up after they encountered Kesten, she greeted him in a courteous and polite manner, greeting him as a fellow warrior, and on the ride into the trading post, she even seemed to be stealing glances at him with a faint blush on her face.<br/><br/>Once they were given a moment to act on their own, she quickly sought out Kesten, wishing to know more about the androgynous swordsman. She stabled Memento and didn't waste another moment in seeking him out to hopefully speak in private. She held herself tall and tried to fight off the light reddish tone to her cheeks, she wished to speak to him as a fellow warrior, not a blushing little girl.
