Ahiru. [He puts a hand on her shoulder.] Easy, kiddo. Look, it's not that bad. I'm here, ain't I?

[motioned]

[It's calmed down in a few seconds, and then she takes a breath before continuing.]

But it is bad! I mean, it's good that you're here, but that doesn't mean it's okay! If it was me, you wouldn't say it was okay!

Who would... What happened?

[uberboned]

...No, but if that person who killed you wasn't hanging around, what could I do about it?

[He pats her on the head.] It doesn't matter, Ahiru.

[motioned]

Just because I can't do anything about doesn't mean I don't care! It's not okay.

[uberboned]

You can care, kiddo, and no, it's not, but I'm okay with it. And I'm here now and I ain't leaving sooo... We've got that, anyway.

[motioned]

[The words almost make their way out - nobody can control when they leave - but she at least has the sense to hold them in.]

Are you sure?

[uberboned]

I swear. [Gabriel's aware of that, but it's one of those things he refuses to deal with.]

[motioned]

[And then she just holds up her arm, sticking out her pinky finger so solemnly.

She's serious, okay.]

[uberboned]

[S T A R E.

...And then, he shrugs. Why the hell not?

He links her pinky with his.]

[motioned]

[She smiles, even if it's faint.]

Thanks, Gabriel.
