Adia's gaze drops to her wine glass as she has another sip. She's disappointed to hear that Zandros is being so judge-y. But Caspar looks unsurprised. "Yeah, that sounds like him, all right. I'm amazed he was able to earn a puzzle piece at all, and didn't get turned into a squid along the way."

"He had Natasha with him," Adia murmurs. She sighs softly and looks up at Hunter. "I don't think Zandros was prepared for how differently people think in the Nexus. How something that's considered unattractive or scary on his world isn't somewhere else. I think if you give him time, he'll come around."

"And if he doesn't, I'll boot him from your stall," Caspar promises.
