The fact that he's out in the Nexus, head uncovered, is progress enough. Healing takes time -- Adia would know, there's a reason that Caspar has been with her on every recent trip to the Nexus.
If she's aware that Felix is watching her behavior, she doesn't show it. More likely, she doesn't notice. She'd be more self-conscious otherwise. Her smile for Caspar is for him alone, and not one given conditionally. But the conversation turns, as it must, to grimmer things, and her gaze drops to the ground while Caspar answers Felix's question.
"Not in the Nexus, no." There's a long pause while he internally debates sharing some newly acquired information. It's not pleasant, and ideally he'd discuss it without Adia present, but... "Josh murdered the trainer who hired him to kill those two poachers. On her world. I think it's safe to say that he's attempting to cover his tracks."
He lets go of Adia's hand so he can wrap his arm around her and draw her in close, letting her burrow into his side for protection and warmth. He holds her so tenderly, a sharp contrast to the cold fury burning in his eyes, now that she can't see. "We haven't heard from him otherwise."
