But at times Adam could get stubborn an such an never give up on something he so desperately wanted. He tried to push the thought out of his mind an did his best to 'believe' what Ellie had said about him. His personality. "I guess, if I loosen up a bit more I can be more relaxed an such." When she mentioned his hair Adam couldn't help but laugh at the comment. She may have heard some things about him that was floating around the school, but she had never experienced Adam in an argument or fight. He ran his hand through his hair in model like manner an letting it bounce a bit. "Well..maybe my hair doesn't compare to my personality, but you can't deny, nor can I -hey that matched- that I've got brilliant hair." Adam spoke in a excited tone. "But the reputation is more than true." It was a reality an everyone knew it. Whether they knew him personally or not.
Adam wanted to argue with her on the fact that the best thing was for Dallin to monitor him mostly, or to keep Adam away from her, because it'd be the best thing. But then the sadness an almost desperate tone changed his mind in a split second. His head turned to face her an he gave her the most sad, confused look ever. The change in her voice surprised him. "Is..everything all right?" He asked, referring to her tone.
Ellie waited in the intense, dramatic pause to see what he was going to say next... A horse. Duh, 'cause all knights needed horses.
"A horse! You need a horse, but where can we get one?" Ellie tapped her finger on her chin and put a thoughtful look on her face. She was pretty much kidding about it all, but she was kind of having fun.
"Oh, I think the topiary garden has a horse," she pointed out. So if Adam really wanted a horse to complete his knighthood, they could go there.
There, he had the idea. He just had to loosen up and relax. Ellie smiled at him.
"There you go. Like right now, you seem pretty relaxed. It's nice." Adam didn't seem like the type of guy that everyone thought he was or that everyone said he was. Besides, Ellie didn't want to believe anything that was based on rumors. She couldn't help but laugh when he started talking about his hair. And he rhymed, which made her laugh too. Well, Adam did have good hair.
"Yes, I have to admit - your hair is pretty nice." Ellie grinned and reached over, ruffling Adam's hair. He probably wouldn't like that too much, but oh well. But then he spoke quietly about his reputation again.
"Reputation or not, I still like you." And she stuck her tongue out at him.
Pursing her lips, Ellie sighed and shrugged.
"Yeah, it's just... this has happened before." Ellie looked away from Adam and out over the castle grounds.
"One of my friends told me he liked me more than that, he blamed himself for fights between Dallin and me and then he just... left. He said he couldn't be friends with me or see me anymore because he didn't want to hurt my relationship with Dallin." She looked at the grass and frowned.
"It sucked losing a friend like that... But I guess if that's what you feel like you need to do, I can't really stop you." She wished she could, but Adam had to make the choice by himself.
