ooking up from the pie as Tory sat down, Aiden continued to poke away at it as he smiled weakly before attempting a forkful in his mouth. The sweet taste of the whipped cream followed by the tangy flavour of the pie usually brought him happiness but all he could think about was the bitterness of having two colleagues in the hospital both the result of his actions. In Minnie's case, Aiden was the one who had ordered her to the front lines, he hadn't done his job in leading the team and coaching them properly even when he knew how competetive and seriously Minnie was taking the game. And then Tara was of course injuried due to his loss of control, he inability to control his Hype Gene. Pushing the pie away, Aiden leaned back and looked at Tory. Had he failed her too today? In some ways he had, he shouldn't have allowed them to become separated and yet he did allowing Tory to have to experience her fears and have her mind penetrated by Desiree's illusions.All in all, Aiden had failed the entire team, Strum included. Perhaps he should speak to Strum about having someone else take his place, maybe Erika would lead the team better. She had a more regimented background and stronger sense of personal discipline. Breaking the silence, Aiden finally returned Tory's greeting.
"Yeah, couldn't sleep. I thought I was hungry." He lied nodding towards the pie. "Guess I wasn't as hungry as I thought after all." It was a bit odd for Aiden to see Tory dressed in such a causal manner. Normally she put a great deal of effort, or so he at least thought, into how she looked. But right now it was obvious she had intended on going to bed based on her outfit geared entirely for comfort. Somehow Aiden felt like an illusion of his was being shattered as he had always pictured Tory sleeping in a nightie or negligee. Clearing his throat slightly, Aiden looked up at Tory as his eyes met hers before speaking.
"Hey listen," He started, his voice breaking slightly before he coughed and collected himself. "I'm really sorry about today. I shouldn't have let us get separated like that and I just want you to know I always have your back. I hate myself for letting Des and Phoebe get in your head like that. I'm really sorry I let you and the rest of the team down today."
