Malachi Azure
“I missed having you around too Val.” Even with rarely being in the same place for long periods of time, Valerie was one of the people he cared most about, along with his younger siblings. He was glad to have the chance to be close by, especially if he could be there to make sure she was alright with the whole situation and funeral. Malachi knew how much of a struggle it had to be for his cousin, especially because of Veronica. “I’m here for you now, and I’m not going anywhere. Anything you need, I’m here.” After just a couple minutes, the two sat down as the funeral went on, but then someone decided to make a speech. That someone was Daniel Parker, certified genius and probably the most hated person at the school. Malachi stayed silent, listening to see what Daniel had to say. He had only met Candice the one time, even seen her mother more than he had the girl herself, but from what Daniel had said, it wasn’t necessarily a surprise from what he had been able to tell. He nodded ever so slightly as he listened to the speech, a slight smirk appearing by the end when it was clear that Daniel was about to be escorted out. He looked to Valerie next to him concerned, knowing that at least part of what Daniel said would have hurt her. “Are you alright? You probably couldn’t have known.”
