Ignacio nodded his head as Alice tried her best to talk some sense into her friend. Iggy knew that he shouldn't be doing those things, but sometimes it was hard to reconcile with what he did to his parents. After she finished giving him advice, the eighteen-year-old mutant simply nodded his head,

"Ésta bien." Iggy sniffed and slowly looked over at his friend. Without saying anything, he through his body over hers in a tight hug. "...Your cold." He muffled against the side of her shoulder.

And now they were hugging? OK, that was weird. Alice wasn't a hugger, really but Iggy did seem like he needed it. Guy hadn't had an easy life to put it mildly so she wasn't going to begrudge him a squidge. Well, she was also aware he wasn't just doing it in hopes of coping a feel which kept the creep factor down too. That had been one lesson she'd learned early.

"It's cool man, I'm here whenever you want to chill and de-stress." Who'd have guessed the gaming nerd would be emotional support some day? Certainly not her.

Laughing a little at the cold comment, "I guess I'm just that cool. Clearly enough to sap away some of your damn sunniness apparently," jokes and sarcasm were good and easy for her to do so she stuck to it. Well, that and it was kind of a typically English response to serious topics by lightening the mood a little. "Just wait for winter though, you'll think I've ice in my veins."
