[ Killing people doesn't bring back the dead but it sure as hell makes you feel a bit better about things. Apollo is silent as he allows what Erik's has said to hang between them, giving it the room and the respect that it deserves. Because it's too much - huge and painful and personal and heavy in ways that demand more than just a quick and easy reply.
Erik might not be drinking but Apollo sure is. The sip he takes from his glass is more than just a sip. ]
Nina. [ He says eventually. ] It's a pretty name.
[ Apollo knows he should say more - and he will - but right now it just feels nice to point that out. To put that little something out there in to the world. Even if pretty names don't protect little girls from being murdered. It only it did. ]
