[She doesn't want to have a nice long talk, not really. If Steve does, she'll listen and ask questions and say whatever she can to help make it better, but what she really wants is to just sit here and let him know she's here. He's not alone anymore, and maybe that means needing to relearn how to be around each other again, but she's not going anywhere.
She lets out a quiet snort when he says it and sits down next to him.]
Glad someone still does. [God knows he needs it.
Becky leans into him a little, pressing her shoulder against him, enough to be familiar and hopefully comforting without leaning on him too hard.]
We don't have to talk about it if you don't want to. I know I'm not exactly who you're expecting me to be, but- [She smiles and nudges him gently.] I bet he'll listen too, if we're really that much alike.
[And there's no way Steve's okay with this. No way in hell. And she hates that there's no bully she can punch in the face this time.]
