It didn't seem that the younger girl was too receptive to what she had to reassure her with, but Adelina wouldn't press her.
When she was asked why she joined Armada in the first place, she couldn't help but balk. It was difficult to know what to say without knowing what was known, and what was meant to be secretive. "Your father was generous enough to provide the opportunity." Adelina left it intentionally vague to try and avoid going into explicit detail. She didn't want to say that initially, the decision had not been her's to make. However, given the opportunity to go back and make the choice for herself, she certainly would have- knowing now where that path led. But she also didn't want the conversation to veer towards why she had been chosen in the first place- as she was specifically told not to disclose that information.
Looking around, she quickly tried to pull from their environment to come up with something else to say. "W-What is your kitten's name?" Adelina asked suddenly, trying to make conversation but at the same time, using it as an excuse to change the subject.
