[samus looked up to him with shimmering eyes and went "u-guuu adamu". She wants to turn around and look him in the face, but the comfort of their position isn't something she wants to disturb either for fear it will end. Once, Samus might have questioned the sincerity in Adam's eyes (further complicated by the fact that those too, weren't even his natural pair) but over time she's learned to trust what she sees, and hears--trust him.
This is kind of a big thing. It might not be whole trust, not perfect, but monumental enough that she hasn't shied away from the close, emotionally intimate contact they were currently sharing. She finds herself gripping him a little tighter, like how her throat feels tight around itself.]
...If you were easy easy to handle, you wouldn't be worth the effort.
[Not that he isn't FRUSTRATING or INFURIATING at times, but Samus knew the best things in life were worth fighting for, despite also occasionally regressing into brooding, cynical isolation and bitterness.
It's sometimes hard to see the grande scheme of things with someone like Ridley here. Why would they let someone like him in? What merit or reasons do they have? Why...]
He took everything from me, starting from when I was just three years old.
[ He has to smile a little. It's probably best to talk about the matter at hand before things become uncomfortable; because it's pretty perfect right now as it is. Well, as perfect as it can be.
Well, holding grudges. He can sympathize with that, because he knows his own losses and how deep they cut. ]
And I'm sure he's realized that it was the worst mistake to make. Shouldn't give him the satisfaction of being your only focus, though. Your life's better without him in it, that's what he needs to know.
[Part of her wants to emotionally dump on him but she's pretty sure that would end up being exactly 27 years of emotional dumping and no one deserves that kind of a dump. That is a big dump.]
He's a sadistic monster. Literally and figuratively.
[She buries herself a little more in Adam's hold, completely aware talking about it more openly does little to immediately resolve all this pent up anger and angst.]
Scales, wings, long jaw, pointy teeth, sharp talons... all that. He's dangerous.
[ His life already is a dump. He's pretty sure he can handle some more if getting it off her chest helps her to relax, but he's not gonna push it. Right now, though, it seems like he doesn't even have to--it feels nice, not having to force her into his arms. ]
Hard to miss, then.
[ In more ways than one. ]
If he's even just a little bit intelligent, though, he'll know that starting trouble won't do him any good.
[Imagining the violence and bloodshed begetting her arch nemesis puts her at ease, which also simultaneously disgusts her that it does. It has also done well to emotionally drain her, but now that she feels some relatively satiety of that thanks to Adam, her body duly reminds her of something else that could use sating.]
...Me too.
[She doesn't move under him though, not immediately. Adam is nice and warm.]

I'll obliterate him if he does.
[...again.]

[ He's convinced of that, at least. ]
But all this talk of dragons and obliteration has gotten me hungry. Come on.
