It takes a moment more for Adelaide to regain her composure- taking the handkerchief as offered and dabbing at her eyes. "Thank you, Henry."

Always prepared, always thoughtful. It is almost enough to have a fresh knot tangling in her throat to know that it has not changed since he left the spire- but she manages to swallow it back. Ruby needs to be taken to Solas and the shard examined. One final swipe at her eyes and a clearing of her throat is required before she can speak, and even then she keeps her eyes on the ground to blink away any lingering moisture. "You can't be hurt that badly if you are making puns."

And yet she pushes herself to her feet and offers a hand up. Focus, Adelaide.
