[ Rafa makes an interested, listening kind of sound when Kavinsky talks about Adam. He'd talked to Adam, too. The little villain, that had been Adam. Rafa had liked him. In actual fact he'd ended up liking him more than he liked Ronan, though that is in large part because Ronan had ended up not liking him. Rafa is difficult that way. Murphy, in his mind, suffers from the same problem.

That's why Kavinsky's question startles him, which it probably shouldn't. He looks sharply at him, then frowns. ]

Of course not. He grew hostile once he knew I was your man. Besides, I have my dreamer already. This was not a difficult choice.

[ He reaches over to lift Kavinsky's hand, and then thread their fingers together. ]

I believe his interest was in the Parrish boy. At least, that is how it seemed.
