It's probably a good thing she thought to actually pick up the blankets in the main area of the bar.
She almost prefers to stand but when he sits and doesn't say anything she relents and settles in on the opposite end, turning to face him while pulling her legs up with her. She remains quiet, letting him speak and tries desperately to keep her expression as neutral as possible.
When he's done she sucks in a breath and slowly lets it out. "Don't. Don't be sorry."
There's a pause as she thinks about what to say next, carefully choosing her words is so unlike but the situation is messy enough without her bungling it. "Look. I...I care about you, too, I really do. And I..."
Don't want to be alone. She wants to say that but can't bring herself to do so. She wants to throw herself at him, have him hold her and comfort her, but that would possibly be the worst thing she could do right now.
"But I still don't think I'm ready to get into a relationship again. Especially after..." She waves a hand around, "After dealing with the City again."
