Trent slowly shakes his head. "No... no number of good deeds ever makes up for the wrong. Not with man or God. It just doesn't work that way."
Looking down, he takes a napkin to wipe up the wet rings from his glass. "No, it takes forgiveness and grace from others. I could never do enough good deeds for the things I've done."
Sighing a little, he cocks his head, just looking at Thirteen. He couldn't help but study her... watch her. How would he know that she was being taught the right things? How would he know that she was being taught about God? How would he know how she was and if she was living right?
He looks down again. "Yet even with forgiveness... a man can be haunted."
"Aw, Katie..." Jason sighs as she gets out of the truck. What was with the tears? He didn't get it. This wasn't that big of a deal.
Getting out, he leaves the food be for now. Going around to her side, he faces her, reaching out to tilt her chin up so he could see her. "I'm not trying to be a moron here, ya know." He shakes his head, his emotions proving his confusion and frustration. "I don't understand why you can't deal with this right now... I don't understand why you're making it into a huge issue."
He tries once more by holding up the mic. "It's not a distraction... ignore it for all I care. But at least put it on in case we need it, alright?"
