[ Livio seems stressed out, and Wolfwood can't blame him. Watching the orphanage flood out is messing with him too, although this orphanage is different enough from the one he's used to that he can put that worry aside a little. But it's still the place he grew up, still the place Livio grew up. There's still a lot of memories and feelings and all that shit tied up in this place, not to mention the body out back.
It's hard, wanting to protect something that you can't save.
But the kids are gone, safe, and Melanie with them -- he has to believe that. This place is just a place, and places can be rebuilt. ]
Hey.
[ His hands are full, so instead of clapping Livio on the back he bumps his shoulder into the other man's, grinning like he doesn't have a care in the world. ]
