She had zoned a bit after sitting down, not really taking in the fact that Christine had asked a question, but when she heard the soft words,<span style="color: #800080">"Why you so upset?"</span>She came out of her thoughts.<br/><br/>She stood and went around the table to kneel in front of Koda, she looked at him for a moment with unreadable eyes. Her emotions hid deep inside her so she wouldn't scare him, even the windows to her soul said nothing.<br/><br/>She slowly leaned forward and wrapped her arms around Koda, one hand on the back of his head guiding it to the junction of her neck and shoulder and the other around his waist bringing him almost flush against her. Then she purred. It was actually a low growl that sounded more like a purr and was used to comfort a Vampiric Childe.<br/><br/>It wasn't really loud, but it was loud enough that Christine could hear it in the quiet apartment. Christine could remember feeling that hugging vibration herself. When she was a teen and had a boyfriend, he had started to abuse her and she didn't tell anyone until it was too late. She ended up in the hospital and found out that he had made it to where she couldn't have children. Serenity had visited her and hugged her like she was hugging Koda. She didn't say anything, for the hug was all she needed to know she wasn't alone and that everything would be okay. She felt the vibration everywhere, as if it was reverberating in her soul saying "It's okay now." Christine smiled.
