After another moment and he was sure she could sit on her own he removed his arm and moved so he was sat opposite her, close enough to jump to her aid if she suddenly lost her strength but not to close to crowd her.
"You fought brilliantly" He told her smiling, Brad turned his head to pick up his wand and stowed it in his jumper pocket. Turning back he adjusted the jacket so it covered more of Emily and looked in her eyes to see if there was any lasting damage. He was stalling for time, after a pause he sat back and sighed. Suppose it was time to talk...
"Sorry again..." He said quietly looking at the floor. He picked up a piece of rubble and bounced it in his hand. "I suppose this gives cause for a drink?" He asked stopping the rock and looking up again.
Again she accepted Brad's help and managed to sit herself upright, bending her knees she hugged them to give her some support. So the pain was a little worse sitting up.. she would survive. Yup... she would. She was tough, and she wasn't about to let this ruin her day.
"No... I didn't," she said in a resigned voice, she wasn't happy with her efforts, she had failed. And in real life... on the job... out there, if she failed, that was it. No one would be able to save her.
Something stirred in her, some deep emotion... it wasn't anger, but it was powerful... and it wasn't happiness, but it was pure... it was grattitude.
"Don't be sorry... this is what I need... I needed this..." she brushed some of her hair of her face.
"This is exactly... what I needed. Its the only way I'll learn..." She was really eternally grateful, sort of. Though she wasn't about to go handing out balloons to everyone that decided to curse her.
A drink? Merlin she could go for a firewhiskey.
"Don't happen to have any on you now do you?" she asked... it would help with the pain relief.
