She was clearly pleased that he had caught on to her little joke. Indisposed was such a polite word that undoubtedly covered a myriad of impolite activities. The tiniest twitch of lips was her reward, and she would take it for more than what it was worth. Perhaps, she could get a real smile out of him before the day's end. Surely, there was someone more entertaining beneath this stone-faced exterior.
Adelphie was beginning to think she truly was in the right place. Not just as far as the signature was concerned. Now, she was almost ninety-nine percent positive that the signature belonged to the man she sought. Clues, that weren't meant to be clues, were dropped by her company, and everything was piecing together in familiarity.
"Of course, it's French," she concedes with another lilt of chuckles. He'd misunderstood the reason for her stumble, but it wasn't worth mentioning. Jean, as he seemed to call himself now, had had quite a few names in the time that she had known him. Of the ones she knew they were all so French. This one, however, was certainly the most boring of the lot.
She took the hand that was offered to her with gloved fingers. As she often did, she wondered to the feel of his skin. Did it feel as soft as it looked? Were the golden illustrations decorated upon it raised or rough? Or did they blend in seamlessly with all that paleness? She would never know, however. So much easier to wonder, than to deal with accidentally poisoning someone.
"Adelphie Rhodes," she replies, pulling her hand away from his after a brief handshake. "Though, just Adelphie, please. I am not quite old enough for all this madam, business." She waved the hand that she'd just taken from him, casually. It wasn't often that request was honored with those of Elijah's make. Taking himself too seriously. Though, it was likely Adelphie that did not take anyone else seriously enough. "It’s lovely to meet you, Elijah."
"Nothing to drink for me," she informs, though the offer had been sometime ago. Then, with another smile, she moved past Elijah to find a clear spot at the kitchen's island. She slid her bag off her shoulder and set it upon the counter before sliding into a stool. Still no confirmation that she was in the right place, but she was more than happy to make herself comfortable, anyway. The setting was rather homey, so she might has well take advantage of it. She crossed her legs, precariously balanced on the seat, and folded her hands in her lap. Currently, her attention was all for Elijah. "Such a gorgeous rose garden, I saw outside. Do you take care of them?"

I fear no fate (for you are my fate, my sweet) I want no world (for beautiful you are my world, my true) and it’s you are whatever a moon has always meant and whatever a sun will always sing is you.
