Kat wasn't sure what to say. She decided to stall, taking a sip of her water as her eyes cast out towards the woods. It's beautiful here though she can't let her thoughts linger on the setting for long.

Vergil was right, it wasn't the same here, but she wanted to stay close to him. It was a silly notion but Kat truly thought that she could protect him from his demons. His harsh words echo through her head before she can shake away the memory. It hadn't been all that long ago.

"I know." Her voice was very soft as her eyes dropped towards her water. "I don't know how to act around you now. I'm not sure what to do." Kat almost wanted to apologize but she knew that it would be unhelpful. "I'll figure it out." It was a statement as much as it was a promise. She knew she couldn't lean on Vergil but she didn't know how else to live. "But I want you in my life Vergil."

It didn't need to be said but Kat wanted to make that much clear. "If you need me. You can rely on me to be there. That's what friends do." They would never be friends, not exactly, but she wanted him to know that she would never shut him out.
