Oh well, I guess, we're gonna pretend

The girl seemed to tense as much as he did, his trained eye noticing her posture as well. Though it didn't last for long after he greeted her and he could see that she started to relax. His ears remained tuned to his surroundings, however, just in case her mother decided to try and bite his ankles or something. He listened quietly as the girl said she was doing okay and that it was nice to finally talk. While he wouldn't admit it, deep down he thought so, too. He nodded and uttered a soft grunt. “I’m sorry… about mother.” His ears perked as he focused on her. He knew how much she and her siblings were probably affected by Jewell's actions (or lack thereof) and her paranoia that everyone and everything was out to get her. How she seemed to blame them for everything and not herself. At least, that's what it looked like to him. He probably would never know the real truth about Jewell, and frankly he didn't care. But the kids deserved better than a mother who showed time and time again she was nothing but unfit.
"It's not your fault, kid." He said softly. He didn't blame her for anything. Especially her mothers actions. What caught him off guard, however, was her question. He thought about it for a few moments. And ultimately decided he wasn't going to push his feelings onto them. Nobody else was teaching them, so he might as well do it. "I do. And I can, if that's what you want to do." |
