The fact that Erica had left back home made sense, meant she was the just the kid Scott knew she was under all that bravado. And whether Isaac had intended to or not, that won them both some good faith on Scott's part. But the revelation still sucked, because being thrown into some bizarre war here... probably not what she'd hoped to run to.
"I'm sorry. That... really sucks." Hardly eloquent, but genuinely heartfelt. There was a thoughtful pause before he continued, and there was nothing guarded about his tone when he did.
"So I think we already have, because - we're here and having lunch like things are totally normal, but - truce, right? Officially. I know we don't agree on everything, but I also know you and Erica aren't the massive jerks you were pretending to be back home. We should try to stick together, right?"
Wow, nice compliment. He really did mean it as one, though, and his light expression and tone conveyed as much - same for the slight smile.
