Pretending that it never happened, she can do that. It's been an emotional roller-coaster, and he looks and sounds better, and she's grateful for that. She packs up her things, a good sampling of animals, and they managed to get through their acquisition without anything trying to eat them. So double bonus!

Cho happily keeps up with the useless animal factoids as they make their way back downstairs, letting her chatter be a sort of white noise. If she's talking, he doesn't have to. She resists the urge to ask him if he's all right when they part ways, and it's not easy, but she finds herself hoping that she'll see him again. It was nice talking with him, and he seems like such a truly kind person. "I'll see you around," is all she says when they head off in opposite directions. "Thanks for keeping me company."
