Zanna's eyes grew big for a moment as Kal hugged her before she wrapped her arms back around him. She began lightly rubbing his back, "I'm sorry I made you panic."

Kal shook hi shead, his words coming out as a mumbled mess of unintelligible sobs. He leaned into her, graciously accepting the comfort and love he had been deprived of most of his life.
"It's- It's not your fault." He managed to rasp, adjusting his position slightly. "I'm so sorry"

"Not your fault either," Zanna consoled him softly as Kal cried. She kept rubbing his back as she pulled him slightly closer for the sake of her comfort at the moment. She would have to lean a bit less than before, "You can't control your emotions."

Kal continued his cries, not willing himself to speak, until the realization of the situation hit him.
He was crying. in a hallway. Embracing the girl who saw him as a pest.
As a result, Kal quickly backed away, wiping his eyes and making sure no one else was in the vicinity.
''s-sorry…'' he mumbled again, barely a whisper

"Hey it's fine," Zanna kept consoling him even as he moved away. She moved to stand up and offered him a hand. She may not particularly like Kal, but she could tell he was going through it at the moment, "I'll help you back to your dorm and then you can decide whether you want me there or not. Sounds good?"

Kal nodded slowly, taking her hand graciously as he shaily rose to his unsteady feet. He continued to mumble "Sorry"s while he looked around the hall. "Yeah. G-good" Was all he could get out as his shallow breathing clawed at his ability to speak.

"Good," Zanna nodded not exactly letting go of his hand. He was still breathing fairly shallow and she wasn't exactly sure if he was really up to moving yet. But, she figured he was fine enough, "Mind if I keep a hold of you?"

Kal shook his head, letting her hold him while they continued to his dorm. He held up the access band, watching the doors slide open before collapsing on his bed and covering his face. "Holy… shit.." Kal mumbled, wiping tears from his eyes

Zanna followed him to his dorm where she wondered if she should enter or not. She did end up entering but stayed by the door unless Kal needed her to leave. She let out a cough as she heard Kal mumble, "Want me to go?"

Kal vigorously shook his head, looking back up at her with a fear in his eyes he had so expertly hidden before. He wanted anything but to be alone.
"Please stay" He mumbled pleadingly, his eyes still wet with tears

Zanna gave him a soft smile as she approached his bed. She made sure the door was closed as she sat down next to him knowing her normal attitude would b=robably not be the best at this moment, "Alright."

Kal sighed while he stared at the floor, reaching for his lustrous and grabbing a blunt while he lighted it. He drew in enough to fill his lungs, then sighed out, while he closed his eyes. "Did you ever go to the planetarium in Nakau?" He said softly, trying to change the subject

Zanna blinked as she heard his question having been enjoying the silence that had settled. She thought hard for a moment before carefully shaking her head, "Nope. Was always to busy with one thing or the other to go. Did you?"

Kal chuckled, watching the smoke waft through the air while he let the silence simmer for a moment, needing a few more seconds of comfort before speaking.
"It was shit. I went for some class thing, and it was shit. We couldn't see anything beyond the space junk and the training facilities no one even uses and… god I loved it." He smiled, staring into fond memories only he could see before laughing again. "Sorry I just… I dunno."

Zanna hummed after he spoke. She figured that would be what the planetarium would show given how messy the atmosphere of their home was. After another moment she let out a sigh, "I get it, I think. And hey, at least now you'll get to see past all the space junk."

Kal smiled, looking up at her for a moment before turning his attention back to the floor, fidgeting with his blunt. "To be honest, I'm really scared." He rasped, pursing his lips

"I would be surprised if you weren't," Zanna replied with a little huff. She wasn't going to push him any further than he wanted to go at the moment. She leaned back on the bed given his current position, "I mean, even I'm a little bit scared of what's coming."

Kal looked over again, tilting his head slightly while hetook another draw, letting her response sift in his mind of a moment. "You are?" He chuckled to himself, looking back at the wall. "I really never would have guessed"

"Just 'cause I don't show a lot of emotion doesn't mean I don't have'em," Zanna huffed again. She knew she wasn't the best at showing emotions, or well, acknowledging them either, but they were there, "And of course I'm scared. This is my first time going off-planet too."
