[ As she recalls, Jinx looked really scared that day. Too afraid to show Fio how different she had become at the time. When she tried to ask for details, she wasn't able to explain how it happened either.
Surprisingly Fio's tears don't run for long, gradually growing less. Yet her eyes and face remain slightly red and glistening. She's still afraid about Skulduggery disappearing, but her own worries are pushed back for another time. For now, they're both here. A few more sniffles, then as gently as she can, she worms her hand and arm away. It's only for a moment that she keeps herself peeled off from him.
Getting up on her knees, Fio reaches out to wrap her little arms around his neck for a hug. It's all that she can think of doing. She won't run away. ]
I'm sorry, Duggy... [ Her voice is as steady as she can keep it, despite her sobbing and sniffling mere seconds ago. She needs to be brave. To become reassuring to him as he would do for her in the past... ] Whatever it is that you saw, must have been... really, really terrible. But I'm here for you now, okay?
