(Abyss had gotten Tala and her friends to leave and he sat outside Emerald's doorway, so he could be close, but she'll also get a moment to calm down, then after about an hour he went in to talk to her)

Abyss: You ok?

Emerald: ...

Abyss: You don't have to tell me, but who's Thorn?

Emerald: A kid I bit from when I was little, ok?! I never meant to but he got so mad! I was terrified!

Abyss: (holds hand) I know, it wasn't your fault it happened. And you didn't deserve that.
