He settled to listening what she had to tell him. That was what he wanted, right? For her to tell him she was okay, so that particular elephant in the room was addressed and couldn't bother him any longer. Hearing that Geneva cared for her made him feel better, because he trusted Geneva. The gray fem had been a good friend to Savina in her days as a Dreamer. He suddenly felt that Naniko and her puppies were going to be okay. "That's good to hear... Geneva is great. Don't, eh, don't worry about Jefferson. He's all right too."
She said she wanted to keep seeing him. He nodded jerkily, trying to decide which avenue to take. He wanted to see her again, perhaps in a while; though Savina would be floored. He chose to give a shaded answer, one that could have been a lie, depending upon what the future held. "Okay. I'll come by sometime." He smiled tautly. She explained that she and the pups must be going, and that made sense. He felt their encounter was short, but maybe the alleviation of the tension would prove to be a good thing. He nodded stiffly, then rose to his feet. "'Bye, Naniko," he said, this time his grin holding some degree of warmth. With that, he turned and headed down the bank.
