He didn't do much, when he showed up. His curls were disheveled and his eyes were a little wide behind the glasses, which seemed to be touching reassuringly every few minutes (not usual), and he said nothing in particular. But came and curled with her, holding her tight and stilling, not saying what happened but not letting go, either. Clinging, was one word that, after all this time, came to her mind.

Quorra was going to ask where, what, who. Later. Now she just held Eric close back and babbled nonsense softly. Hopefully, it would be enough.
