Michael flinched away from the hug, terrified that it would just make things worse. His chest hurt. His eyes stung. And he could feel the tracks his tears had made on his face. Having a stranger touch him was the least of his worries, as he fshuddered at the thought of Gabriel, letting out a pained groan, wishing he hadn't said what he had. Wishing he had just let things go on as the always had. 

As the woman talked, telling him her name, Michael tried to compose himself. He couldn't make much more of a fool of himself then he already had to her, but he still didn't look at her.  [color=00a651]"Michael"[/color] he said in a soft voice, thick and emotional. He didn't say anything else then, but he did uncurl himself, if only slightly. 

He was still shaking and he wondered how much you could shake before you shook yourself apart. Oh, why did it hurt so much? He rocked back, as if that could help him keep himself together. When that didn't work, he wrapped his arms around himself, and only now did he look at Hikage, looking as if someone had completely torn him apart. Which wasn't far off. 

[color=00a651]"is it meant to hurt this much, when someone hurts you?"[/color] he whispered, sure his voice was lost in the crowd, as he bowed his head, his shaggy hair Falling down to cover his eyes.

Sasha smiled, glad Marlene was meeting some of the guild on her own-she knew it would be better for the new member of she did it herself. [color=6ecff6]"Nolan doesn't do well with girls. I haven't really talked with him much"[/color] she said, [color=6ecff6]"not have I worked with James much. But they are both good people"[/color] she said, giving a slight frown. Maybe she should work at working with others of the guild. 

She glanced to the battle to see how Maddox was doing, before saying [color=6ecff6]"um. Mr.oni? And whose Nolans sidekick?"[/color]
