Adrian listened intently as she struggled for the words. He'd been hiding out during the war, as soon as his seventh year ended his family had fled. Better to run away than be conscripted by the Death Eaters, they felt. His father surely would have been put to use, and his mother just wouldn't have it. Of course, Adrian had never had the guts to ask his quiet, serious father what he would have done if they hadn't left Britain.
"I've seen the play," he finally answered simply. He shook his head, though, "This isn't war, though. We can prepare properly and minimize the damage." He knew it wasn't much comfort, but it was what he'd been telling himself, so maybe it would help to say it out loud, too.
"I always do," he replied, "and if you find the time comes you need some extra supplies yourself, you know that you and Viktor can always call on me, right?" Adrian hadn't made many friends in his life - he'd had his Housemates at school, and his family. But since coming to the island, he'd found he enjoyed having friends, people to care about, people to hang out with, outside of his sister and Will. He certainly counted Alicia among that small group.
