[at that.... adam stopped. he froze up entirely, staring down at her with an unreadable expression. at first there had been more fire in his eyes, much more anger within him, but after she said that he couldn't keep it up anymore. he kept on thinking about what the schnee company had done to his own family, to the white fang, and what those like-minded people had done to him. he had been chased, taunted, and nearly killed several times by them.

he had been a child, but still they had insisted on killing his kind. poor, supposedly uneducated, homeless and abandoned... surely no one would care about someone like that if they tortured them, right? he had sworn to fight for the right cause.... but right now he knew what he had done to get there wasn't in her best interest. and that's what he had been fighting for this whole time in prison.

adam swallowed hard, his eyes softening as well.]

....I can get that to you. Everything I've ever done while being in the White Fang, I can give that to you. [he might just have to write it all down, it's been years.]

And... whatever grudges we both have, you towards the White Fang, me towards the Schnee company... when you didn't know who I was, we had gotten along just fine when not dealing with those associations. Hadn't we...?

I can never forgive your company... because I could also tell you a long list of the people they've killed to get where they're at today. Kidnapping, forced labor, blackmail, I know all about it. But if I'm willing to at least.... not include you in that category, then can't you do the same with me?

I just.... hate the idea of us not talking due to what side we're on. [it all sounded so wrong... but adam didn't want to lose her friendship.]
