Amber's walk would be interrupted by Reggie, who'd stepped in front of him and blocked his path, a sympathetic but disapproving look in his eyes as he saw Amber's behavior.

"Amber, is it? Believe me when I say I know what it feelslike to lose someone close to you, to have some die and feel like it'syour fault somehow, that you should've been able to prevent it from happening. I'm not gonna pretend I was there, nor will I pretend that I knew your friend, but I will tell you that what you are doing is the worst thing you can in this situation." Reggie ran and hand thtough his hair as he collected his thoughts, before looking up at the orange giant to stare him right in the eyes. "Whoever Howlite was, they wouldn't want you to oet yourself give into depression and abandon all your other friends. They are dead and gone,,and no matter how much it hurts, their is nothing you can do to change that. What you can do, however, is make for damn sure tnat it doesn't happen again, cause as shiity and heartbroken as you may feel right now, you'll feel much, much worse if you find out that something happened to one of the others and [i][b]you[/b][/i] weren't there to at least try and stop it!"

Reggie's voice was beginning to raise with his emotions, as he poked Amber hard in the chest to emphasize his point, before pointing at where Eve was. "Have you taken a second to stop thinking about yourself and imagine how she must feel about all this?!?! How she feels about nit being there, stuck in space because of my dumbass while some she knows and feels responsible for died?!?! No, of course not, it's all about you, about what you can and can't take." Reggie's concern was turning into anger as he reached up to grab Amber's collar and attempted to pull the giant down to  his level so they were looking dead-on into the other's eyes, saying his final words in a harsh whisper. "At least you have a family to even walk away from! My is dead, all of them taken from me in an instant, murdered by some fuckin' scumbags and I'll have to live with the fact that I couldn't do [b]anything[/b] to stop it, that none of them are ever coming back ever again, for the rest of my life! Death is a part of life, and you are going to have to learn how accept, 'cause if you're going to break down like this everytime someone you know dies, than you've got quite a hard life ahead of you." 

With the last spurt of his anger he would attempt to push the giant back with an angry shove, too pissed to care if he succeeded as he walked past him, Eve, and Chromite. He only stopped once he was in front of the guy in the van, a scowl on his face as his hands were jammed into his pockets, curled up into fist so tight that the knuckles were turning bone-white.

"You got a cigarrette, I needsoomething to calm my nerves before I punch something . . .or someone."
