Although she wasn't so sure about that not thinking he could love her part. That bit maybe wasn't so nice. But then again they had only started out with the intention of being friends, and while she'd hoped for more she hadn't been going to say anything to him. At least not until he accosted her on the train. That was also a good memory, despite the fact they'd been trapped in an enclosed space and had heaps of people around them.

Just the thought made her brighten up and made it much easier for her to push through the panic she felt and get her breathing under some semblance of control. It wasn't normal yet, but at least she wasn't hyperventilating, and she was drawing enough breath for her to actually speak.

"I'm sorry," she whispered, lowering her eyes from his in embarrassment and shame. It was one thing for him to know she had panic attacks, it was quite another for him to learn through witnessing one, just how out of control of her own body she could get. In fact she was still fighting against crying due to frustration at her herself. Although she seemed to actually be winning against that because she was much happier than frustrated.
He could hear her breathing and see that is was still gradually slowing to normal, and he could feel relief sweeping over him as it did. She'd really scared him, and he'd never realized at all that a panic attack could be that bad. Well he had but never thought he'd see something like that. Especially with Amelia. It made him so much more aware, and reminded him even more of what he could lose if he wasn't there.

"Fer what?" he asked softly trying to see her face but wasn't going to turn it towards him until she was ready. It could be anything really that made her sorry but he didn't care what the reason was he was still proud of her. She'd gotten through this panic attack and he knew that she could get through any others and he'd help her if he could then too.

He just knew to stay away from birds or any animals really! No bugs, birds, animals, small enclosed spaces, crowds, just good happy thoughts and they'd be fine. He didn't mind any of that because they had lots of memories about their time together and he was positive that they'd be making even more memories over the coming days, months and maybe even years!
