"Well... to be fair, concern for a loved one when they hurt themselves is pretty normal, even if they can fix or ignore it. But if it was a diversionary tactic, it's kind of playing dirty." She didn't know Sable well enough at all to really be making any sort of judgments, but she was mostly going off of what he was saying, and didn't really see it as being judgmental, trying to treat it as more of a hypothetical. "And sympathy is...well. Always seems sort of low, I think. Not really the sort of thing needed in an argument. Of course, we've seen my mature ways of dealing with someone I love bothering me, so anything I know should be taken with a few grains of salt."
"Things happen, you know. They always will... and playing what ifs are only good for preparing for the future, not beating yourself up over the past. You say you're angry at her... is it because of this whole thing, or something else fueling it? Not that you have to answer. But Cass?"
She reached over, punching his arm lightly with her free hand. "Stop apologizing."
