Katie remained quiet as he tried to explain himself. She understood this was just really...different and she was willing to chalk it up to him being so upset about Lavender. His emotions were haywire from what she could see. It didn't mean he should be excused from all responsibility for his actions. He seemed to accept that though. She would be smacking him more if this continued.
The words and the look on his face when he asked if their friendship would change was too adorable. At least by Katie's standards. Cormac had this odd ability to come off as such a asshole sometimes but then come off as very vulnerable. Even she was moved by it. Sliding off the stool she leaned over and hugged him. "Nothing will change, Cormac. And it's not like you haven't copped a feel before."
