That night, Grace couldn't sleep. She laid awake on the floor completely restless. Her tossing around eventually woke Surge up. He peered over the edge of his bed seeing her completely awake. 

"Um...are you okay down there?" He asked her.

"Fine" she answered.

"Lier" he responded.

"I'm sorry. Its just what you told me earlier. It got me a little upset." She admitted.

Surge then reached his fin down, pulling Grace up on the bed. "I hold no ill will toward you or any other of your kind. I know what we are, and how dangerous we are to your kind. If I was to put myself in those scouts position, I would probably have done the same thing." Surge told her.

"Doesn't make it right." grace told him.

Surge then tells her, "hey, I will admit, after it happened, I lost my temper. You probably heard of my three day frenzy."

Grace looked over at Surge with shock. "You mean that's what that was. You caused a lot of devastation to both sides."

"Not something I want to remember" Surge grumbled.

Grace looked away, cheeks turning a little red.

Surge chuckles a little at her blushing before using his fin to lay her down next to him. Both slept peacefully, cuddled together.
