[The feed cuts in mid-shriek, Sam’s drone apparently having interpreted the start of the sound as its cue to begin broadcasting. It shows the adept pushing herself to her feet, having been knocked to her hands and knees by---what? Water. She’s drenched to dripping, and the street she stands on is wet for several metres all around.]

Calvaire de crisse...!

[It’s no more than a mutter as she straightens and immediately starts for the shelter of the closest building, casting an anxious glance up as she goes. She’s through a doorway in a matter of moments due to making haste, and relaxes---marginally---as she moves further away from the entrance.]

[One arm about the shoulders just isn't enough---Sam turns, too, and pulls Hiro into a proper hug. As an only child, it's hard for her to imagine what it would be like to lose an older sibling. How it would be to have a sibling, though...? That's easier.]

[Much easier than it once would've been.]

[It's definitely a start, but Hiro still doesn't allow himself more than a couple small, soft, hitchy-with-tears sounds before he's pulling back a little and wiping at his eyes with his sleeves and mumbling:] Sorry, s-sorry, I'm...I'm okay.

[Sam allows him to pull away enough (and long enough) to wipe his eyes, but by that second 'sorry,' has him in a hug again.]

You've got nothing to say sorry for. And it's my line, anyway.

[Hiro lets out a very soft squeak when he's pulled into another hug, but he eventually relaxes and hugs her back.]

What are you sorry for, then?

Not having this out earlier...? And I'll find some other stuff to say sorry for. [She'll subject him to a light squeeze before letting go... and letting her little wiseass smile surface, to show things really can be okay-ish.] Canadian, remember? Means I got my quota to meet.
