[She doesn't thank him -- she only nods. Maybe someday she'll thank him for telling her, but not while the wounds are still so fresh.]
[She turns in her seat and stands, keeping her gaze away from Peony. Her hair is a mess and her face is still red from crying... she knows she can't go back to the apartment now. But she also can't stay here anymore.]
[Is it? He can't think of anything else, but if there are other things lurking about it would be better to come clean now. Unfortunately, he's never actually seen her interact with Jade or he would think to mention that they know each other and apologize for his actions.

Yes, I think so. Let me know if you need anything. And just... send Ion here if you need to, okay?
[Letting her go off like this makes him a little anxious, but he really doesn't think she'll hurt Ion. Not physically, at least.]
[Though given what she needs to figure out, sending him away wouldn't really help. But thankfully, she doesn't need Ion out of the apartment to find time to herself. And right now, even through all the feelings of loneliness this information has given her, that was what she needed most of all.]
[Without any more fanfare than that, she turns and walks out of the room, leaving Peony alone in the apartment.]
