[So Kel's idea of 'Basil was trying to stop Sunny' was absolutely wrong. Getting together details about what happened was so difficult, but they were in the middle of... a conversation, right now. And, hopefully, Sunny wasn't going to run away.
His family, his non blood related family, sure was all messed up. And he was probably messed up as well.
At the nod, he merely leant forward, placing a kiss on the top of someone who felt like a hurt kid now. Sunny tried to help Basil, Basil perhaps knew something he wasn't supposed to, his grandma died and.... everything went to hell.]
For what it's worth... Aubrey is with him. And Polly, even if she's no longer officially employed- she says she's going to do her best not to leave his side.
[He wanted to be angry with Basil for what happened to Sunny, he probably still was to some degree, but overall the whole situation just felt depressing. And it was in part Kel's fault for not realizing what was going on.
If only he paid better attention to all the small things...]
Ah... [Sunny's fault? Kel blinked before staring in silence to the side for a moment, still trying to keep the other close enough so Sunny would be unable to look up at him. Hard to keep up a smile while discussing certain things...] I... [He knew about Mari. He didn't know a lot of other things. Sunny didn't know what Kel knew or didn't knew, though, and this bit of conversation was subtly telling him Basil was at least... involved to some degree? Or was he reading too much into it? The flower boy did completely retreat after the incident, after all and- ah shit.
Any reply was a gamble. Say 'not your fault' could probably push Sunny to hold his own fears back... right? Consoling him would maybe have the same effect. Acknowledging any fault could hurt him, though, and he still didn't know what ent down in that room. This was... difficult.]
I... [A pause. This was going either to push Sunny away or break things between them but, hey, it wasn't like Kel could play dumb in the middle of a conversation like this. He wasn't book smart, but he could at least understand people..] I know.
[And no way back from that. Saying that anxiety was rising in his chest would be a massive understatement.
I made some ugly mistakes too, though. No one is free of blame and... for what it's worth? I forgive you.
[For what? He wasn't even completely sure yet. For Mari, yes, but he lacked details beside the fact she had an argument with Suny and then died. For Basil? He didn't even know how Sunny was responsible. He wasn't certain of anything but sometimes one had to roll and pretend he knew a lot more than he did.]

Even more of them, if possible
