She was, admittedly, not very good at taking things seriously. Her smile rarely left her face, except whenever someone got hurt and she had to go into doctor mode. Otherwise, she remained upbeat and lighthearted, even when she wasn't supposed to be.
It was probably a bad idea to go traversing the marshland without anyone else, y'know, just in case she got stuck in a trap or found herself face-to-face with an angry gator. Still, her little celebration over reaching the border unharmed was cut short when, after a moment or two, she finally noticed how the air had shifted. She glances around and finally notices the group gathered; it was honestly a feat to not notice them in the first place.
Her smile drops, an expression of faint concern entering her features as she watches from afar. A rock of dread settles in her stomach. This didn't look good.
Stepping closer, Adelaide tried to keep her steps light, not wanting to get caught in the midst of whatever storm was about to start. She had come just in time to hear Kydobi go on about how Aurum had killed him. The story gives her pause, frown deepening as she listens. How could he do something like that to him?
She had yet to hear about all the Pitt had done. She had heard their name in passing, but she never got much more than that. People around here seemed not to like them very much, but of course, she had no idea why. It sounded like this guy had it rough.
It didn't sound like he was lying, either. Why would he lie about something so awful? And to think someone from the very same group she found herself in had done that. Perhaps she shouldn't have been assuming things, not knowing the full story, but she couldn't help herself.
When what looked like a huge bug presented itself, her focus was quickly diverted, almost surprisingly so. She perks up in intrigue, a grin breaking out on her face. A new specimen! It was fascinating to her, to see so many unnatural things in these animals. Not only the fact that they could speak and think, with their own moral code and beliefs, but their physical attributes, too! So far she had no problem with this new world.
But then she remembers what's going on around her and she pauses. Probably not a good time to freak out and cause an even bigger scene. Calm down, Addie, you'll get your time. So she waits, tensed, eyes darting from one face to another. Waiting for something to happen.
The band was pulled tight, and at any moment, it felt like it would break.
