It had been a mixed blessing that at least he in fact already knew of her ability else he might have freaked out more. As it was seeing Selina in full vision and unable to pull her out of it even with Kurumi's help had been more then a little unnerving.
He smiled as she seemed to relax with his answer even a little bit. And when she leaned into him, Gideon wrapped his arms around her hugging Selina back. Whatever had happened, it didn't matter and he was glad to be close to her once more. It seemed to magically erase the distance that had been between them since the game. He gingerly rubbed her back as he held her close to him.
As Gideon rubbed her back Selina hugged him harder. She wanted to let him know, in her own weird way, that she was glad he was there. Maybe she was not the best at showing it, but she did care. There was a part of her that knew she was not the easiest person to deal with. On most days she was upbeat, crazy, opinionated and fiery; yet, there was a part of her that was scared and afraid to get too close to people. And what was the worst was that Gideon always seemed to bare the brunt of her inability to open up to people. When things became too tense she would flee and usually from him. But she would not run this time, to prove that he meant something to her.
She turned head so it rested on his chest. Soft enough so only he could hear she said,
"I'm sorry. Not about Saturday.... About everything. I, well, I care. I just show it weird."
