"C'mon, then." Apollo said, taking Galleai's hand. As Gal was still holding Ishi's hand he figured that was good enough and set them all off in the proper direction, muttering under his breath about babysitting Gal.
For her part, Galleai could tell that Ishi was pretty torn up, but she wasn't sure what she was supposed to do. Death, for Gal, was not a big deal. And seeing a man murdered in cold blood didn't bother her, for it held no actual reality. But she didn't have a lot of real-world friends and it pained her to lose one she'd just gained. She just... didn't know what to say to make it better.

Ishi followed numbly, completely unable to focus on anything but what had just happened. She had already started repressing the worst of it, but all she could think of was her terror, and then how she was almost sick. She just....couldn't even fathom. It wasn't registering in her head. The walk was a long one; she had gone farther than she realized, but she didn't seem to notice the time passing. Everything was just...she didn't even know. She didn't snap out of the half-trance she was in until she was coming up on Juno's house. Looking up, she blinked a few times and gently pulled her hand out of Galleai's.
"This is where I live," she said softly, just barely more than a whisper. "Um...thanks," she said. "I gotta go now. Thanks." She mumbled the last word and said nothing else, not really sure how to say it. She couldn't exactly say it had been fun. It hadn't. But she owed Galleai something. She didn't want to make any false promises, so...she settled on as vague a thing as possible.
"Later," she said, meeting Galleai's eyes and forcing a brief smile before turning to go. She didn't even look at Apollo.
