"......." Hal was silent for a moment.
"No..." he replied. "I'm not..." he said.
He then sighed, and shook his head.
"I am in the middle of a meeting!" he called to whomever it was.
"Unless this is an emergency, I suggest you sit down and wait for it to end!" he said further.
"If you feel this is important, then enter!" he finished.
Kalin could see that Hal did NOT look amused. He hated when his meetings were interrupted, but he was sympathetic towards people that had emergencies or had something very important to tell him.
"No..." he replied. "I'm not..." he said.

Hal thought about what Kalin said, before nodding.
"Hmmm." he mumbled.
"If you are sure." he said.
"If you trust him to work for your office, then I will support your decision." he told her.
"He needs to start finding his own way in the world, anyway." he reasoned.
"...and that will probably be very difficult for him, admittedly."

Hal just sighed.
"Over the years, I've become quite perceptive when it comes to sensing motives." he told her.
"It's not perfect, but I DO consider myself a good judge of character." he went on.
"And it seems like Christopher was used for... well, most of his life." he told her.
"Now that he is free from Vanessa's influence, and doesn't seem to be being used by anyone, I can tell he's a very unsure person, but wants to make something honest of himself." he said further.
"Do I trust him? Yes. I do." he then told her.
"I think that somewhere underneath his emotional issues and history of abuse, there's a decent person there."

"Hmmm, I see." Hal replied.
"Well, I appreciate your candid response." he told her.
"Your attitude regarding him deserving a chance is refreshing." he continued.
"And you wanted to ask me about him? I admit, that's surprising." he admitted to her.
"What is it?" he asked.
"I can only imagine what you may want to ask."

"Fairly well." Hal responded.
"Vanessa Encrae has been dealt with, and the remains of her little legacy have been destroyed." he continued.
"...mostly." he then muttered.
"Which is why I've called you in here." he told her.
"It's about Christopher Jenkins." he said.
"Tell me... I noticed you were talking to him. What do you think of him now?" he asked.
"I know he's caused you and your family pain and suffering... but what is your opinion on him now, after meeting him as he is?"

"I'm happy as well." Aly told him.
"Happy that I'm with you." she said with a small smile.
She then gave him another hug, holding him close.
"Eke..." she said.
"Just know that, no matter what, I love you." she told him.
"It doesn't matter what life brings our way, I'll always love you and always be here for you."

"......." Chris was silent for a moment, before nodding.
And that was when Illias came out of the office.
"Sorry." he apologised to Kalin.
"That... took longer than expected." he admitted.
"I'll be going now. Bye-bye." he finished with a wave, before leaving.
"Miss Calder." Hal said to Kalin from his desk.
"Apologies for that delay, but I'm ready to see you now." he told her.

Chris flinched when he heard the term.
"....I... I mean..." he stammered.
"Sure." he said.
"I'll do anything to help." he told her.
"....." he was then silent, before something came to his mind.
"Wait." he said.
"What about your significant other?" he asked.
"Won't HE have problems with that arrangement?"
"....I... I mean..." he stammered.

Chris just sighed.
"I know I don't fit in." he said.
"...also, what?" he asked.
"Help?" he asked her.
"I mean, it won't be fun or easy? Yeah, I expect that." he told her.
"But what are you talking about?"
"I know I don't fit in." he said.

Chris just shook his head.
"I don't know." he said.
"I don't know where I can go from here." he told her.
"This place is a temporary solution, I know THAT much, but I don't know where to go from here. What to do. How to do it." he went on.
"...I still don't even know who I am." he went on.
"Ah... well, in a more... philosophical sense, that is." he then clarified.
"I never really got a chance in life to do... what I wanted. I always did what others wanted me to do, or I did what I thought I wanted, but it's what others wanted." he told her.
"So... I need to find out who I really AM, before I try employment or anything."
"I don't know." he said.

Chris just shrank a little when Kalin said what she did.
"......I know." he replied.
"Trust me, I realise that the people that are even willing to give me a chance are having me skate on very thin ice." he told her, his voice starting to shake a little. Kalin then saw a tear trail down one of his cheeks.
"...and the fact that it's a Kiczys giving me this chance..." he went on, his voice almost a whisper.
"I don't deserve it." he said.
"I'm sorry..." he then said to her.
"I'm sorry... I'm sorry for all I've done. To your mother... to you... your sister... your family..." he whispered, almost breaking down, but managing to hold his composure together... barely.

Aly looked over at Eke as he said what he did, and smiled softly.
"That's very sweet... but sad." she told him.
"The fact that he was trying to die in the first place is sad. But at least you managed to bring him back from it." she went on.
"And it seems like you help each other out nicely." she added.
"Bonding over candies... it's somehow fitting." she then said.

"....." Chris was silent, before sighing.
"A chance is more than someone like me deserves." he said.
"And the fact that we share blood... it really isn't something I would consider as a reason to let me live past this meeting." he went on. "If anything, I'd understand if you saw it as a reason to end me right here and now." he continued.
"It's not like I don't deserve it." he then said. "I've done so many horrible things in my life, and been privy to even more. I wouldn't be surprised if, no matter what I do from here on out, I'm destined for Hell." he admitted.
"I know the people here are good. They're housing me when they don't have to. Considering my past, they have every right to put me on trial and have me executed." he then said further. "It's why I'm currently filling a role of 'gopher' or 'errand boy', or whatever you want to call it. I'm trying to make things a little easier for them to thank them for this." he informed her.
"...but thank you for this chance." he went on.
"I intend to show everyone willing to give me one that even someone as wretched as myself can turn their life around. I doubt I can ever make amends with those I've wronged in the past, but I can at least try to find a good life path for me to walk down now."

Chris just looked away for a moment.
"...I'm just... trying to get a life together, I guess..." he muttered.
"My life." he clarified.
He then proceeded to give Kalin a truncated explanation as to what all had happened. What he had done to Vanessa, what she had done in response, how he'd lost everything he had, and who he was, and how someone used their power to give him back everything... and free him from Vanessa's control.
He made sure not to mention it was Terra/Gaea, though. He didn't know if she wanted that knowledge out to many people.
"So... I'm here, now." he said.
"Trying to build up something from the nothing I had most of my life. And trying to stay away from those I've hurt in the past."
