There's only so much distress and self-disgust Korrin can hear before she forgets -no, ignores- decorum and she moves to draw the Enchanter in for an embrace that won't leave her ribs aching. The Vashoth mage can be gentle when need be. She'll also back off without question if Adelaide demonstrates any resistance, only wanting to comfort as she can, not add to her distress.

"Don't, Adelaide. You were in shock; your entire world just went to hell, and I really doubt you were the only one in that state. You didn't have it in you to speak up then, but you're speaking up now, and that counts for a hell of a lot. I know I haven't made those council meetings any easier to bear at times, but I'm there because I still believe in it, and that's partly because of you. Without your presence, I know there were times when we would have devolved into usesless infighting, but you kept us focused. I admired that even before knowing all this, but now that I do...I'm in awe, Adelaide. And I don't kiss ass for the hell of it, so keep that in mind."
