Halo doesn't understand feelings. She can't even manage to muster up sympathy. She knows that Wormwood is upset. There are more accurate emotions she could put there. Pained.
She loved Jers. She misses her parents. Even knowing that, the pit in her stomach feels just like that: a pit. There's nothing there. All of her feelings fall through.
She has absolutely nothing to offer in this situation. No comfort, no advice, no possible solution. She approaches anyway because perhaps being there is enough.
Halo can tell she is holding her breath. It isn't an entirely conscious decision to do so, but rather a reaction to not knowing what to do. She's waiting to see what happens. Having only clearly caught Wormwood's last statement, she's not even that sure of what's currently going on. No idea of the past, present or future, huh? She really is completely lost. If only she had gotten here sooner. Whether here is here or Tanglewood itself is unknown. All she knows is that she's lingering and Wormwood is pained and she has to say something -
"Fate."
The word falls out of her mouth, a light echo from when he had said it, and the timber wolf looks thoughtful for a few moments. "You believe in fate?" Violet eyes are intent upon the lion as she asks, lightly tilting her head to the side in question. "Because in that case, you must believe that things happen for a reason, right? And that everything works out the way it's supposed to?" There's a pause, and what follows is the most reassuring comment she can possibly offer at the moment. "Everything is going to work out the way it's supposed to." Halo doesn't know if she believes that herself fully, but that's not the point here. She's trying to focus on him, even if her mind is currently trying to wander to problems that she had previously had. Did everything work out for her?
Not the way she wanted it to, but possibly the way it was supposed to.
