Steph just holds her, rubbing soothing circles between Collette's shoulder blades, letting her cry for as long as she needs to, because sometimes it's better not to keep everything bottled up. And it's definitely better to cry on a friend than alone.

It chases away the rest of her anger at what transpired today; she can't hold onto it in the face of how much Collette is hurting. It doesn't matter exactly what the problem is, Steph just wants to help ease that pain.

"It's okay," No thanks are really necessary, she's just helping how she can.

She rests a hand on Collette's arm, not quite breaking contact, but the remark gets a bit of a smile, "Try doing it with a broken nose, adding blood to the mix just makes it so much worse."
