"A Pisces," he says, far more glumly than he'd intended, and he looks away after Raleigh hands him her hoodie. It's not even for modesty's sake, he just remembers how self-conscious he'd been stepping out after he'd gotten his haircut, giving everyone a good look at the bruises on his face and neck. The pitying stares hadn't gone unnoticed and he doesn't want to do that to Raleigh. He's more than willing to help her re-dress any wounds or anything else she asks him to do but the house is supposed to be a safe place for her and staring at her like she's a victim isn't going to make her feel safe.

He tries not to cringe at the reminder of the fact that he and Joel had been having their good time while Raleigh had been suffering; but she's making an effort to smile and if that's what she wants to hear from him right now, he'll give it to her. So he nods and closes his eyes for a moment as the images spill into his mind, the ones of them in bed together and Raleigh doesn't need to know how far they'd gone or hadn't gone, but a smile plays at the corners of his lips as he answers.

"Yes, we had a good weekend. You know, it was technically our first official date? Joel was-- He's amazing."
