[ Adora knew from the measuring and the fabric choices that Hilda was making a cape for her, and somehow it means even more than the first cape encounter they had. That one was already made, and all Hild had to do was pay. Which was and is still a big deal to Adora, no one has ever willingly spent money on her before (none of her friends have money either) and so it will always mean something.
But to take the time to make something is a whole other level, and other people need things more, so her instinct is to protest. To tell Hilda to put the cape on the back burner. But she already knows the answer and the look she'd receive, so instead she looks like a mix between someone who's either about to cry or smile brightly. Her emotions still haven't decided by the time she speaks. ]
This is just so...kind. Thank you. And between you and Geralt, maybe I'll have a sword before—well, if—things get bad.
[ She doesn't want to say they will, even though it's probably true. It feels like egging it on, encouraging it if she says it like a fact. ]
