</div><br/>​</div>Bec could see that at least Sou felt physically better, but even without being directly involved in the conversation with Kennedy, she could see the woman was still emotionally impacted by everything that had happened. If Mrs. Minch had acted out of line, that would have only served to make things worse. Her expression remained neutral along with her opinion; she'd reserve making one of those once she'd talked to Diana.<br/><br/>With Bec heading off for the kitchen Kennedy sighed empathetically. He didn't discount Sou's words or feelings even if they were a little off. The woman he remembered from Abendblume, the social media star, wouldn't be speaking about God and destiny in the way the Sou was now. She'd been through something truly awful and its fresh marks, physical and mental, were deep.<br/><br/>"Mind if we step outside?" He wanted to speak more freely and he didn't feel that comfortable being only one room away from the woman Sou was so distressed about. Once they were outside, he felt easier. The open air was better than the potpourri-scented living room and the disdainful gaze of the cat. "I understand that you'd feel concerned for the other girls, but some distance might serve you well. I'd enjoy your company, and I'd be lying if I didn't say that I feel more confident knowing you were with a friend. It wouldn't mean abandoning the girls, we can certainly follow up on that," he offered, hoping she'd feel the same.<br/><br/>"And," he started while summoning all of his tact,  "is it alright if I ask about this person you called Hale's demon? I'm familiar with everyone there, at least to some degree, but I've never heard anyone go by that nickname, or be referenced by it before. I'm sorry if it's uncomfortable for you to answer, and you don't have to if you don't want to, but I've been trying to piece together everything that happened that day."
