Of course. Was almost past her lips until she stopped herself; stopped her horse too, as she stared at her brother. The next thing that jumped to her mind was how ridiculous the question was. Wouldn't she always love him, no matter what? She always figured that even if Ari was up on trial for someone's murder that Adrienne would know the full truth immediately and would have no doubt in her mind that Ari was innocent - or he had a good reason for such an act. It was an understanding between them that she thought would never need to be explicitly said. They would just know.

Adrienne was positive he did know all of this, which was why it gave her such pause. If he was asking this question aloud, then it must mean that it was something worse than murder that he had on his mind. But....even so. They were all each other had at the end of the day. They'd come to Selwyn Manor together, and even though they had grown and changed, Adrienne would never be as sure of anything as she was of how much she loved her brother. How much she would do anything for him. They stayed together, and they always would.

"Yes." She finally said. It was not a forceful response, but a determined one, and a promise. "Yes, I will."
