| "Oh, my apologies as well." he said to her, before sighing.
"And... well... I just came by to see how you were doing. You know... holding up and such." he said to her.
"I was worried about you."

| Kalin smiled slightly as he said that before just walking forward and giving him a hug.
"Thank you, Vincent." She said quietly.
"I'm alright, seriously. A bit... off, still, but I think my body is still getting used to having changed." She told him honestly as she stepped back.
"Seriously though? I'm fine. Hell, I feel better than I normally do, so that is definitely a plus."

| He smiled as she hugged him, and returned it happily.
"Well, that's certainly good to hear." he replied.
"And I'm really glad to hear that you seem to be doing better than you normally do." he continued.
"And if Rene is, as you say, overworking you in the pool... take a break then?" he added.

| "That would be why I'm up here." Kalin said with a small chuckle.
"We agreed that a break would be a good thing, and are heading out for dinner in a little bit." She added.
"Are you alright? I'm willing to bet that whole event was rather shocking, and possibly scarring... wait, how's Rocky? Out of the eight of us, I'm guessing that she would have been the one most likely to have lingering feelings or what-have-you from it."

| He sighed.
"Well... she doesn't blame me for it, at least." he said.
"And she's still a little jumpy from the entire ordeal... but overall, she's recovered nicely, and is back into her usual schedule or gardening and the like." he informed her.
"Doubt she'll be complaining about stress too much now, though." he added with a chuckle.

| "Well, at least it did what it was supposed to. It relieved everyone's stress, right?" Kalin asked with a small chuckle.
"Anyway, is there anything I can do for you?" She asked kindly.
"Since you stopped by, after all."

"Oh, no, just checking up on you." he said.
"But everything's all right? You're adjusting nicely?" he then asked.

| "Yeah, I'm adapting well." She told him honestly.
"Thanks for stopping in. It does actually mean a lot to me." She added, a small smile on her face as she heard Rene's footsteps coming upstairs.

| He nodded and gave her one more hug, and a kiss on her cheek, before stepping back and disappearing in a small whirlwind... just as Rene entered the room.
"Hey babe... whatcha doing out here?" he asked her.

"Anyway, anything you want to do before heading out?" She asked.

"What'd he want?" he asked further.
"And I can't think of anything, really... we just need to get dressed fully, dry off, and then head out." he then added.

| "Yeah. He stopped by to make sure I was doing alright after all that. Plus the change, and all." She told him honestly.
"And alright, let's go get dressed." She added with a smile.

"Heh, he acts just like he's your biological father." he commented.
"You like that, huh?" he then asked.

| "One could argue, he's the only parental figure I've ever had." Kalin said with a small sigh.
"I'm grateful that he's decided to take me in as his own, even though we have no blood relation." She added.

| He just smiled a little more, and hugged her.
"Well, at least there's that." he said.
"Overall, some hurtles aside, you've had an OK life, huh?"
