Trace stood there a bit, before walking down the rest of the steps. The man seemed nice enough and it took a while to shake his hand. "C-could you show m-me some s-self defence?" Trace said gaining enlighten strangth to make himself audible his time. He saw Kilauea walk away and that made him more nervious. He didn't know if he could speak again knowing she left him there. Thought of what his father had told him crossed his mind and his eyes got a bit watery without meaning to.

'Your so pathedic.. no one wants to be around you. You wont amour to anything' his father had told him time again during the beatings. He truer his best to not have it get to him. He was safe here, she had told him that, he just had to feel that for himself. He diddnt know what Clarence had thought ably him, it was probly better if he didn't think about that. "I-i need to l-leant to s-stand up for m-my self" he said softly finally finishing his reason why he needed the mans help.
