Kon hadn't been in this sort of position before, but he had had a talking to so he knew what it was like. He knew how annoying it was to be reminded of what you did, of grown-ups almost treating you differently than they would if it had been an adult that had done it. But he also knew that this had to happen and when Kal opened the box, which he had hoped wouldn't have happened, he knew it wasn't for any other reason than to check. So he didn't move, he just waited until it was closed. He was far enough back that what Kal could feel wasn't as strong. Just like there was something kind of wrong in the air and instinctively he played with his TTK field.

When Hayley looked back at him, he gave a slight smile and a quick nod. He wasn't going to run and he was going to be there for her through this. He got it. Maybe he would tell Kal how she made him understand this and maybe it would let Kal understand why he was here with her despite having been furious. Did he have anything to say at this moment? Not much was coming to mind. He'd raged to Kal and he'd raged at Hayley...he spoke to Hayley and so...for the most part he'd said anything he was going to say. But then he keeps going back to what she'd said earlier.

"She gets it Kal. Trust me."

Trust me because you know I wouldn't just be saying this for the hell of it.
