Louisa didn't even know if this was bad or good. She let it go, though, because he started answering.

Whaaaaoooo.

Louisa's face slowly changed from smug to sympathy. The surprise that Paulie Foster actually felt this way toward this Tori girl was hidden well. Maybe it was mean of Louisa to be surprised, since Paulie was a human being after all, but she'd never thought he'd actually commit to one girl just because he loved her. She found herself staring at him quite differently too, when his tone was a bit bitter or sad. "I wasn't aiming to make you sad." she said softly. She had like... a dozen questions now, too. But she waited until he re-asked his original one.

Her head turned to look up at the cat as she answered, "It's not different from when we were merely friends." And her tone was very neutral, "Maybe it's because it's been only like a week..." she looked back at Paulie and hesitated. The next words were dangerous and she wanted to know if Paulie was the one to know them or not.

....

"I don't have romantic feelings for him," she almost whispered and then pursed her lips together. A second later she elaborated, "I mean, don't get me wrong. I am happy that we're giving this a go, and I am even happier that he is happy. But I can't say I'm in the same boat as him. Not yet, anyways." Was that bad? Louisa sighed and started fiddling with the bandaged wrist, "I think once we..." kiss? hold hands? "... actually act like a couple, it'll come to me." Even if not, Louisa wanted Adam to stay her boyfriend. She was happy and that's that.

"Does she love you as much as you do? You trust her enough to be committed to her even when she's thousand miles away somewhere, is she doing the same?" BAM! Louisa's trust issue was starting to surface.
"I know," Paulie answered, when she told him that her motive was not to make him unhappy, and he gave her a smile. "I was just kidding." Sorta. And since Louisa had no guidance to offer him about his troubles, he listened to her answer his own question.

And, unfortunately, it was pretty similar to what Paulie had suspected. She didn't really feel anything romantic for Adam. A frown pulled at his lips a little, but he didn't say anything. Instead, he waited for her to go on. So, it sounded like she was waiting for these... new feelings for Adam to surface when they kissed or something. Like, from a fairy tale kiss. "Still hasn't kissed ya," Paulie murmured, shaking his head. If Paulie were Adam, he would have kissed the girl AGES ago! Hadn't the boy ever heard that 'Kiss The Girl' song from that mermaid movie?! And things would probably be different, too. Then again, maybe Adam had some method to his madness. Maybe he was waiting for a perfect date and a perfect time, or something. Although, perfection was hard to come by. Paulie released a sigh. "Man, I don't even know what to tell you guys." And that was saying something because Paulie had an opinion on everything. "I mean, I guess you can't change the way you feel, but at the same time, it's kinda not fair to Adam when you're dating him, but don't actually have romantic feelings for him yet." Like, what if she never developed them? And then Adam would just be getting strung along, all for nothing. He glanced over at her bandage that she was toying with.

"I think so," he answered, in regards to her new question. "And yeah.. I trust her, even if she's so far. But she's real pretty, ya know, so I can't say I trust the meathead Frenchies who are probably hittin' on her left and right." Lucky that Tori was so strong-willed, heh. Paulie thought a little, then rested his chin on his fist. If anyone, he was more worried about trusting himself than Tori.

"Next question for you." And it still related to the Trojan War. "Do you still have feelings for Joao?" Yeeeaaah, that was a big one.
