[ CRIES INTO HANDS-- No, she's not doing that I AM. She's watching him hold her own hands until coaxed upward. She's never been shy of eye contact, but it was still somehow stomach twisting. In a way that wasn't entirely awful.
And yet his confession leaves her almost sympathetic, tsking in that gentle way of hers and giving his chilled fingers a squeeze in return. Had it really been so awful? Not that she didn't think being shoved into Purgatory against her will was anything to be glad about, but having him feel it... It was almost worse than her own issues. So she smiles a little instead, moving just enough to lace fingers with one of his hands. ]
Maybe not Nina. But. [ She takes a breath, not entirely steadying. ] You don't have to worry about it now, alright? I don't want to go anywhere- trust me. I've got you- and a few blooming friends here. And gods, it's Florida. What's not to like?
