[ It's been quiet lately. Ellie had tried to apologize for the way she'd treated him during the whole Neverland thing, but Joel hadn't wanted to hear it. After all, it's not like she'd been in control of her actions. And dwelling on it now won't change a thing.
He's been thinking, though. About a lot of things. Ellie's reaction when he'd tried to ask about David. All these events and how they change people. They way people up and disappear and how there's no way to stop it. And what that man with the floppy hair had said at the poker table.
If she goes back, she'll be going right back to where she left off. He'd meant it to be comforting, of course. I'm assuming you'd be there, right?
But it had been anything but.
He looks over at Ellie now, bent studiously over a comic book. Not Savage Starlight, but something given to her by one of her friends here. Easy enough to leave her to it, let her enjoy herself for a while...but instead, he clears his throat. ]
