 *sappysapper* MAJNOO, YO!
The silence after his little speech was mean. Orlando did not like it. It annoyed him, it itched across his skin - making him want to do something. But he could nothing, he could just stand there - waiting for her to speak.
When KT did start to speak, the itch, instead of going away just grew more. It was uncomfortable on many levels to talk about this all still. But the sixteen year old forced himself to stay and listen because he held too much respect for KT to bolt and leave her when she probably needed a friend most, even though she would say otherwise. She was epic strong like that. Seeing her small weak smile, Orlando offered her a warm smile too. "These type of things cannot be planned, KT" His words were soft. "And yes, it happened but I promise it does not affect us in any way. It made me sad but seeing you right now like this, I don't think I can continue being a moron like I have been since the past few weeks. You should not be apologizing, what so ever. I have been stupid and I am really sorry, KT" The Gryffindor paused, unsure of how to proceed. He had not planned to say what he had just said but he knew he meant it all. It may have not been intentional but that was exactly how Lando felt.
His eyes fell on Koala sniffing around, when KT spoke again - it was more uncomfortable news. Even though he was probably the worst person to advice Legend and KT on what to do because of his dumb brain and all but still he felt like asking them was it seriously okay to forget it all? It just didn't seem right.
Orlando did not fail to notice the expression KT was working so hard to keep intact. And now she was the one avoiding his eyes. He didn't really hear her wish to feed the abraxan because he was contemplating over his next move and words. Placing his hand over her shoulder, Orlando spoke clearly: "KT, I told you this last term and I am telling you again, I am here for you - even though you probably don't want to need me. As a friend or as a brother. But I always will be." With that, Orlando couldn't help but turn KT a little and pull her into a hug. The boy did not hug her like he usually did. He hugged her because she needed it, despite the fact that she would yet again say otherwise. For once, he hugged her only to let her know that she was not alone. "You are strong and stubborn at the same time, you know" he smiled a little, still hugging her. "But even the strong ones need us small people to remind them that they don't have to be so strong .. all the time"
