[ When Adam's thumb went to touch her face, Weiss closed that eye reflexively. After a few seconds, she opened it up again. She wasn't exactly sure how to react, but she did trust him. For everything that had happened and everything she knew, she trusted him to touch her just has he trusted her. She didn't pull away. ]
Neither of our affiliations matter anymore, do they?
[ All things considered, she just liked him. The White Fang, not so much, but Adam wasn't the White Fang just as much as she wasn't Schnee Company. A rose by any other name and all that. ]
...They might have mattered once. However, now that we're in here... no, they don't matter.
[everything that has happened, he knows that there's no way he could go back to being the same old white fang member. he knew too much, too much of her, and couldn't return to those ways anyways.]
[ Perhaps it was a selfish thought, but Adam was basically the only one that Weiss trusted. She had a little over a decade in prison, but she did so much less than Adam had. She didn't know what all he'd been convicted of out of what he'd admitted to her, but it sounded like he would be in here a lot longer. Maybe it was a stupid teenage thought, since she barely knew him, but Weiss was honestly a little bit worried that when she got out of prison she'd just be alone again. ]
the man stared down at her, his frown deepening. he knew just what she was getting at, she wanted to know if he got out if they would still talk to one another. he wanted that as well, honestly, but it was impossible.
adam moved away from her so they were no longer touching one another, and he went to go go grab his shirt in order to put it back on.]
I'm in here for life.
[there was no use in hiding it from her, so he just said it bluntly as he got himself dressed again.]
[ He'd pulled away at that. That was when Weiss knew that he knew exactly why she was asking. Anyone she met here and got along with, as soon as she was out they would probably never see each other again. That included Adam.
That feeling she had like she wasn't alone slipped away with his hand. ]
Oh.
[ For a brief moment, Weiss wasn't actually sure what to say. For once. ]
I've got 12 and a half, but I was planning on getting early parole.
adam sighed at that, once his shirt was back on at least, then turned to look over at her. he was frustrated that he couldn't leave here with her but...]
That's good. You should try and get out of here as soon as you can. It's... way too messed up here.
[ah.... adam looks over at her, blinking. he didn't think that she would actually want to keep in contact.. maybe they were closer than he initially figured.]
I'd like that. [and he even smiled lightly at that.]
[ She called him in the first place to make sure to apologize and try to understand, but she also needed to make sure they were both on good grounds here.
Well, standable grounds. It was kind of hard to call what she found out today 'good.' ]
[ Foxes can hunt small vermin and eat things like grapes and other fruits so Weiss is doing fine just sharing her food with Aster, but cows/bulls eat like. Grass. There's probably something else, but Weiss has no idea what it is. ]
I'd rather not have died, but we don't always get what we want.
[ She knows that Adam went through the same thing, and basically by her hand except that she didn't physically see him die. It was probably the most terrifying thing she's ever been through-- and she decidedly isn't okay with it, but she knows that it's unavoidable here now. ]
Chances are, both of us are going to get hurt at some point. As long as you visit me in the infirmary, it'll be okay.

Yeah, we're okay.
[he laughed a little--.... and then he noticed a certain other thing walking into his cell. oh look, it's his pet bull tyrone!!]

action;
[he shrugs.] Just relax, I already take care of most animals here.
action;
[ ..Because Weiss saves money by taking her with for groundskeeping job. Aster helps get rid of pests ok. ]
But, you probably could if you wanted to if I'm too busy or injured.

I'd rather not think about the injured part, though.
