Apple kissed her forehead sweetly and listened carefully. He was sure she had been doing most of the listening this week with her new internship and what a week it had been. He had been to see the counselor once just to talk it out but it still hadn't felt real. It still hurt. "It's damn overwhelming with the amount of people who are hurtin'," he said. "I know I would feel pretty similar if my internship suddenly got attacked with a million kids and adults all upset," he nodded. "And Mack, well... yeah, she's gonna be chasin' monsters for a living but she knows what she's doing, she's well trained and everything. Things are starting to get real because we're all old and shit," he grinned down at her. "We're growing up Tat, who'd 'a thought?"

Taking her hand, he started walking, just letting their feet lead the way. He wasn't particularly worried about getting caught smoking, he figured they all had a free pass for the day anyways all things considering. "Don't you apologize for nothing," he said gently. "You need to get it off your chest too."
