[Adaine's reaction isn't even hurt, or anger, or shock, it's just plain confusion. She lets Ala- Sansa finish without interruption, and by the end of it her brow is furrowed in thought. She realizes, a second or two late, that she should probably respond.]

Oh, it's... fine. Smart, even. Truthfully, I hadn't actually thought of that. There's people who would want to hunt me down and um... modify my mind. Make me obedient to their will.

[And she killed one of them. But he could still show up. Adaine's not one for political machinations, she's always been honest, but in retrospect announcing her title to the entire network could have easily backfired for the exact same reasons Sansa stated. She bought into the idea that she was safe from the past here and she's only just now realizing how stupid that is.

It's a lot of information for her to process, but she's reached the point in her understanding that she realizes how fucking awful this must have been for Sansa.]

I don't at all blame you for not choosing to entrust your safety to someone you just met. I'm just happy you trusted me with this, and sorry that you had to go through everything preluding it.

[She reaches forward intending to take Sansa's hands into her own.]

If... if any of them do show themselves here. I won't let any of them lay a hand on you, I've already made that mistake with someone else I care about. Just say the word. [She has enough trust in her friend to know that they would deserve whatever hell she would have Adaine rain down on them.]
