Trace sighed as he listened to her mother ask the question. He placed his fork down after Kila's commenet and he said loud enough "B-been Here o-only a week" he managed to say. He wasn't getting attacked, and there was nothing to really fear just yet. He was calming down slowly. He didn't want to get into too much detail, he would have Kila speak that part out if she was willing to. "C-Clarence.. T-thank you all f-for helping m-me and the d-dinner." He managed to say as well.

Trace could feel something different from them, different than what he felt from his father. He didn't want to impose too much on them, and he didn't even want to bring up staying there like Kila had told him he might be able to do. He itched his arm just a bit and looked around the room some as well. He didn't have much of an expression on his face, but it was hard for him to smile anymore as it was.
