strength is rising from the ashes

Scott followed closely behind his girlfriend as they walked back towards the floor's lounge.

"Okay." Scott nodded at her. He knew how tired she was but he let her have what she wanted.

Scott followed her gaze when she pulled out of the kiss. "If you want to." He wasn't going to stop her as long as she felt like she could handle it.

Scott knew that she was containing her emotions in front of him. But didn't voice it instead when she moved in for a kiss he returned it.

Scott could tell Thea was frustrated. "I-I don't know,Belle." He stated honestly moving to give her a hug for comfort.

Scott had a small frown on his face when she questioned him. He couldn't tell her for certain. "As soon as you can do everything that you need to get out of here." He hated that he couldn't tell her when that would be. As her boyfriend and now bodyguard he wanted nothing more than for her to be happy.

Scott knew how much Thea wanted to go outside especially when she stopped at the end of the hallway peering out the window. "Soon." He stated almost reading her mind.

While he admired her determination he also wished she wasn't so stubborn sometimes. "Okay,Belle." Scott said with a small smile as they continued down the hall.

Scott bit at his lip as he walked beside her making sure she kept her balance. "Let me know if you need a break." He wanted her to remember it was okay to go at a slow pace after everything she had been through. He understood and everyone around her did too.

Scott made sure she was alright every step of the way. That was nothing really new for him since meeting Thea. "Are you okay?" He knew she must hate hearing that question by now but it didn't stop him from asking.

Scott nodded as he walked over to help her get up. "Slowly." He stated starting to help her switch to the portable oxygen tank.

Scott sighed lightly as he listened to his girlfriend. "A lap around the floor sounds like a good start. I know,Thea."

Scott laughed at her but understood why she wanted to get out of the room. "Alright,Belle. Where are we going?" He asked her curiously.

Scott smiled widely at her. "Okay. Well I'm here." He chuckled at her.
