Nic paused a moment to look over his shoulder. "I love you too," he replied before closing the juttle doors.

Laurel managed to keep walking at the slow pace until she was inside, then she sprinted down the halls to Raven's room and yanked the door open.

So Nic took off, starting his search for Kale.

And Raven still hadn't returned to his room.

So Laurel went straight to Fin's.

The door was open, and Fin was reading.

So Laurel went right over to Fin and pulled him into a tight hug.

Fin was rather startled. "Uh," he muttered.

"Just... let me hold you for a minute," Laurel whispered, real pain in her voice.

Fin didn't say anything, and he didn't move.

Finally Laurel pulled away but sat down right beside Fin, "Um... can I be your friend, Fin?" she asked quietly.

Fin blinked. "... Uh... sure," he replied quietly, still a little clueless.

Laurel nodded, "You're... close to Frei, right?"

Fin swallowed. "... We're friends," he replied.

Laurel nodded with a smile, "That's good," she encouraged him.

Fin paused before nodding.

"Can you do me a favor, Fin... as a friend?" she asked.
