Re: Ben + Dale
He hugged Bryn, Rose and Jazz, promising he'd see them all...after. He had to think positively that they were all going to make it out of this with minimal damage, because anything else left him too paralyzed to go on. He had one more stop before he'd go back to his dad, and he tracked Dale down easily enough.
"Hey," he said, dropping down beside him. He rested his head on Dale's shoulder and sighed. "Bit of a mess, isn't it? But we knew it was coming. You all right?"
