No, no, you don't have to apologize. [Though Abel does look mildly distressed that Angel, an apparently sweet woman who only wants to be helpful, isn't used to dealing with people who aren't 'considerate'.] You didn't do anything wrong, you were being very mindful. I haven't had someone offer to do something like that for me before, honestly. [Not without some kind of ulterior motive at least. Nobody except...]
[Abel finds Cain across the room, picking some other boy up and swinging him around laughing. He wants to be over there, not here, but Cain shouldn't have to babysit him when he has to focus on his mission. This is an opportunity for him, Abel can't threaten that.]
I hope he likes it. I've given people gifts before but, I really want this to be appreciated... [He gives Angel a guilty look.] Is that too selfish of me?
