Otatso Wetlands Sorry Isn't Enough

For now, their conversation seemed to be put on hold. He stepped forward, and Grace felt herself flinch back a little, but when she realized that he was there to help she indeed pulled herself up. Stark himself seemed like he wanted to collapse, and for that reason she chose to stay close if he allowed it. Shaky, she held her ground, trembling at both his touch and the news she'd recieved. 
         "W-Was she... In... Pain?"
She winced at the words, but she just had to ask. Octavia had been good to her, and the russet girl hoped that she had a painless passing. She didn't know what'd actually happened to her to make her run off, but it must be pretty bad if she'd ended up dead..... With a sigh, she apologized again. Her stutter and nerves had relaxed for now. 
                      "I'm sorry, Stark. I didn't handle things the way I should have."
