Somehow, he managed to arrive at the stands in one piece (relatively speaking.) He glanced around at the cheering crowd, cringed a little at the noise, and made his way through the rows. He didn't know where he was going exactly, but he needed to just sit and think and collect himself. Valerie, he hoped, wouldn't be too far away; he needed to find her, and fast.
His quest was not in vain, as he caught sight of her right away. She didn't look pleased (an understatement, really) but he still made his way over to her anyway. Drumming his fingers lightly on the top of her head, Jesús made his presence known to his friend. He briefly fished inside of his pocket and pulled out a caramel candy; Jesús then placed it in her hand, without asking if she wanted it or not. Who could turn down caramel? Especially at a time like this. "You look...well."
