Wicked

Any pain or weakness Adeline felt before seeing Jacques vanished when he appeared. She waited for Boss to leave and then asked as calmly as she could, "What are you doing here?"

Jacques replied nonchalantly, "Well I'm here to see you of course. You know, I really thought you were dead until I found this being sold by a travelling merchant." He took Adeline's old necklace out of his pocket. "Traced it all the way back to here. I'd get the guards, but-" He motioned to her room, "This looks like a fate worse than death, so I'll let you be."

Adeline wasn't phased by the necklace. As far as she was concerned, Amie was dead. She asked, "So the only reason you're here is to enjoy my misery?"

Jacques placed the necklace back in his pocket. A wicked grin crossed his face, "Well, that was the original plan, but you seem unusually healthy."
