She smiled softly at him and her expression warmed like his praise and opinion genuinely meant something to her and she did but she figured he must have known that by now. She noticed how his mood subtly but quickly seemed to change and a small frown of concern appeared on her lips, she didn't like hearing him apologise like that- she was still gutted they hadn't seen each other for so long but she couldn't blame him could she? It was Jace.

All Jace.

The person who was supposed to support her more than anyone, took away all the people who supported her the most.

She bit her lip and shook her head, leaning over gently touching his arm to make him look up at her. "Jamie, don't apologise for that. That wasn't your fault- I know that now, but I'm so, so, sorry for how I reacted. I guess I've spent too much time around shitty, short tempered and sour tongued people, maybe it's starting to rub off on me but I'm sorry for that but don't you apologise for that- it wasn't your fault and I don't blame you, you okay? You look really...anxious, is it me? Or Jace? No, I shouldn't ask I'm sorry," She'd let go of her lip before but she bit it again now to keep her mouth shut, a habit you'd often se her do when she was trying to stop herself from gobbing off at a teacher, or rambling ahead and embarrassing herself or just generally when she was starting to feel ashamed of herself or too vocal.
