The young girl was quiet, which he liked. But her friend was not. He sure liked to talk, for in response for Ezekiel's short apology, he said a paragraph. The large grey male contemplated turning back around and leaving, but only for a second. He had to try at least, to be kind. Kindness was hard for him at the moment, though he knew that he would never recover if he didn't try.

With the fact that his brother was dead.
