Necessary?

At first, Xzavier was a little skeptical about being served by Adalia. It wasn't that he was opposed to her kindness or anything of the sort. It was much deeper than that. It was the underlying element of being attended to by her in the capacity of a servant, this was what made him a little edgy, and uncomfortable. As someone who had been self sufficient and self reliant for a long time, he had gotten used to doing things by himself. Every time he needed something done, he could always count on himself.

So, being doted on and being attended to in this manner was a bit strange.

And yet, somehow, without Xzavier being able to completely explain it, Adalia had braved through, and completely shattered this stereotype Xzavier had tenaciously clung to for so long. Like the legendary Valkyries of old, she had swooped down on him and rescued his dying social life from the strangling thorns of solitude.
