[convincing. adam sat up now, looking at her directly, and he held frost close to his chest with one hand.]
Weiss- you can't say a thing, I currently have a truce with him. I promise not to tell anyone about him and he said he wouldn't go after Blake or any of her friends. I had specifically requested that, and I know he won't do it but... even so...
[ugh, this was so stupid.] ...He's working with the White Fang, too.
And you trust that he'll actually upkeep his end of that bargain?!
[ Because Weiss definitely didn't. She was seething now, teeth gritted together as she narrowed her eyes at Adam. It wasn't his fault, but she was pissed.
Frost could tell too, tucking his tail between his legs as he cuddled close to Adam. ]
[ Weiss seems to take the hint, trying to force herself to calm down by staying quiet for a few moments. Scaring Frost is not a good thing, and neither is getting ridiculously upset by this. ]
If you have any reason to believe that he'll attack us, tell me.
[ ..And suddenly, her original purpose in coming here seems a little more important. ]
And I want you to start training me. That's why I came over today, actually- I'm not strong enough and you're the strongest person I know who isn't some kind of demon or a teacher. I was going to leave it alone since you obviously aren't in the mood, and it doesn't have to be right now, but if Mercury is with the White Fang and I can't tell the rest of my team, I need to be able to fight well enough to make a difference if he does change his mind. It'll benefit you because you'll get to take some of your frustrations out on me because I don't expect you to go easy, as long as you don't kill me.
[he raised an eyebrow at that, looking a little confused. but... she did seem to really want that, and she went right to him of all people in order to get stronger. she had plenty of others she could ask- so he found it odd to confront him about this.
however, he had taught blake, he was good at teaching others how to fight properly.]
My training is rather difficult, can you manage that?
I'm going to school to become a huntress, I'm not going to have my life handed to me on a silver platter. If I can't handle everything you can put me through, I can't handle what I'll need to eventually. So I will manage- especially if I can't tell my team about Mercury.
[ And wander Frost will. Just generally all over Adam, then at some point tries to dig through the couch to China right at the corner of Adam's leg and the couch cushion. ]
[ Frost looked up at him confusedly when he grabbed his paws, then licked at his fingers. Weiss moved over to lightly pet Frost on the head, careful not to touch Adam. ]

He wouldn't attack anyone when he knows he's outnumbered and will lose. He's arrogant and egotistical, but he isn't stupid.
