[ Weiss's mind was reeling. She was trying to come up with some reason, some excuse for him to be lying. No matter what her family had done, she wanted to be able to stand by them and keep her head up proud as a Schnee. But this.. this was too hard to swallow. The evidence was right in front of her, on someone who she'd come to like-- someone she'd wanted to believe in. What was she supposed to do? ]
This is crazy, Adam, my father wouldn't--
[ She couldn't even finish the sentence though. Her father just sponsored a game that she was forced to participate in in which they had to all kill each other or die trying. The moods he was in and how he treated Weiss when he had a bad day at work.. If he could do that with her involved, then with other people, it might be possible. But was Adam telling the truth? Even with all of the evidence in front of her, Weiss wasn't read to accept it.
There was a tightness in Weiss's chest that she didn't know how to face. She felt nauseous. Her entire world had started to crumble apart since she trusted those first members of the White Fang who'd claimed to be her friends and it just got worse and worse from there, and now Adam was claiming to care about her, that she was different from her family and she didn't want to be different. She wanted to be accepted by her family, more than anything. She'd spent her entire life trying to live up to their expectations, and now she was finding out that she was supposed to be the heiress to this. How could she take pride in this?
It was hard not to face her entire aim in life shattered, the only people she thought she could trust and loved be ripped away from her bit by bit in a way she hadn't expected. Weiss knew that it made sense, in some ways, but she never, ever wanted it to be true. ]
Stay away from me.
[ It wasn't that she didn't believe him, that she didn't feel for him. She was sorry that it had happened to him, but she didn't know what to do. Sometimes in a fight you have to run and regroup yourself while you still can, and that.. that was what she was going to have to do. Weiss took a step back from him. It wasn't rejection apparently on her face as she stared at those scars, but it was hard to tell what it was. If he'd asked her and she were to answer him honestly, she wouldn't know.
Even the most stubborn of souls can be shaken when they've lost sight of everything they thought they stood for. Adam was the cause of it right now, and while in most cases she would've argued.. it was hard to argue with a reality right in front of her face. She just.. she had to go. Weiss took another step back, then turned and made for the exit. ]
[and that was it, she was gone. he had seen it in her eyes, the way her body language had changed upon seeing his scars. she was... confused? hurt? whatever she was, it just meant that she was further away from him, again. she didn't want anything to do with him...?
this was yet another case of someone leaving him. it had happened before, it was happening again, and adam had to swallow hard just to keep himself composed. he wanted to run after her, but he knew not to. he didn't do it with blake, he wasn't going to do it with weiss.
the man backed up, his body hitting the wall he had been leaning against moments before. a hand went up to his face, covering his eyes as he tried to sort this all out in his head. so.... that was it then? adam felt... horrible about these circumstances. betrayal was one of the biggest feelings, he had set everything out for her and said she was different but.... was she really?
whatever. he would stay away from her in that case.]
