Stone Circle Thank you

 

Talking about the ordeal he'd gone through only made his anxiety spike. The assurance that it was Valette did make him calm (slightly) and his lips twitched in contemplation - he started to say a couple things one or twice but stopped. "Honestly, I'm not sure." He admitted to her query. He didn't know if it helped much. "I still wake Banner sometimes." He admitted sheepishly, "And I'd hate to scare the kids." He didn't know if any of them had heard him when he had panicked out in his little guard post. 

He sighed softly and nuzzled into Valette, trying to calm himself. "You make it easy to forget things that have happened. I worry sometimes - I feel guilty that I haven't even thought of Octavia as much in awhile." He admitted as he looked towards the ground. He didn't want to admit it; the shame rose up in him and made it harder to meet her gaze.
