Watching as Chris's foot touches hers, Hazel reciprocates the gesture after some consideration. She is fine. She keeps telling herself she is fine, so she must be. Checking for her wand that she already knows his nestled in with Joe Montana, she gives the boy a lopsided shrug.
"I know you're like... trying. But there was nothing fake about that shit." Looking down for a moment, Hazel finds herself frustrated at how delicate she's feeling at the moment. Like she's always a few words away from crying. Some of it is people leaving, and some of it is being tired, but... it's hard to discount what happened. And that's annoying.
"We did good though, yeah. Everyone is safe. I mean, to get there I, we, did a bunch of stupid things. They turned out ok, but they were... scary." She tries to smile at Chris. "You probably did the dumbest shit though, huh?" For an instant she almost looks like she's going to say something else, but she just shoves a hand inside her pocket to pet Joe Montana.
