An impact, certainly. For the better or the worse remains to be seen. Felix may be less quick with the compliments and the charm, but then his smile is fainter, too, his body language more distant.

He's watching how they act around each other, how different that smile is to anything he's seen from Adia before. Whatever their difficulties, Caspar is long forgiven, he can see. Adia's not even embarrassed to bring up the likelihood of their betrothal- ah. His eyes flick back to Caspar, and he nods.

"And told me who to watch out for, yes. I remember his handiwork well enough to guard myself, too. There's been no more news, I take it?"
