This Lights, the one he had never seen to be anything but bouncy or smiling, had lost a child.

He didn't know what to do or think. The shock was immense, and the empathy even greater. "Lights, I...." Am sorry? Somehow sorry didn't seem to be good enough, to even express it. What good would sorry do anyways? It wouldn't bring her child back. He felt a nauseous twist wrench his gut in several different places.

Dropping his eyes he tried to figure out what to do with his hands. He wanted to hug her, to tell her it would be alright, but those words seemed so hollow and false. "I...I didn't know....."

Lights smiled sadly. "How could you know, I only told one person here." Unless Dean blabbed, like he has all my secrets ... Lights pushed the thought away, focusing on Sabel, or rather Sabel's feet, since if she looked at him she'd break down for sure. "I'm okay. It was just very ... upsetting for my family. My kids really wanted a sister." Ezekiel and Bellissa had been almost as heartbroken as their parents. Lights remembered Bella's anger and Zek's pain, and her heart constricted painfully. She didn't ever want to see them like that again.

She finally glanced up and saw the look on Sabel's face. Her own softened, and she stepped over and hugged him. "What do you know," she said, chuckling. "You Aurors do have real hearts." As opposed to, say, ice ones.
