"Well, so how are you?" Jacin scratched the back of his neck. Cress smiled nervously and answered back, "I'm doing good. Why did Winter want you to make friends? You don't seem like that type." Cress started and winced, "I'm sorry! I didn't mean for it to sound like that! Stars, I'm really bad at this. Being stuck in a satellite for 7 years doesn't exactly help social skills."
Jacin laughed, the tension between them somewhat gone. "It's alright, I've probably had it worse. I had to suffer through an evil queen and a troublesome princess." Cress smiled. "Yea. It must have been nice to have at least someone there for you."
Jacin smiled and and suddenly realized. "Hey Cress, I just wanted to apologize to you."
"What? Why, you haven't done anything," Cress looked surprised and crossed her arms.
"Well, I was Sybil's pilot and guard. I was the one who took Sybil to your satellite and back. I should have known, and done something to help you. At that time, I had worries of my own, and now, well, I feel selfish for doing that." Jacin looked embarrassed, and stared at the floor.
"Jacin, it's alright, that doesn't make you a horrible person. Your one of the nicest people I've known, and I'm pretty sure to you're going to be an awesome friend." Cress smiled up at Jacin, and Jacin, in turn, smiled back. Feeling a little better now, Jacin stood up. "Come on, let's go."
"Go where?"
"I want to show some parts of Luna. Being stuck in a satellite, you can't see any of that, can you?" Cress smiled. "That would be nice. Lead the way, Jacin." And with that, the two walked off together, leaving a very, very happy Winter watching the two of them.
