[ allison nods. she'd like to meet him. not just because he's a real, live cowboy (how cool is that?????) but also because he's ben's friend. she wants to be in ben's life -- share his joys, meet his friends, like a real, living sibling. when ben died she was still just a child, and not a particularly kind one. allison never thought she'd get this second chance, and she doesn't want to mess it up.
allison squeezes ben's hand when he talks about klaus. she's not sure how exactly she should get herself across. she wants to tell ben that what happened to klaus isn't his fault, that he was at least there for klaus. that counts for something -- probably a lot, allison would wager.
as much as allison hates to admit it, ben is right to be concerned. whatever painkiller mom gave allison is going to wear off soon, and that cut is going to hurt. allison's trying to take shallower breaths, trying to keep it from stretching or becoming irritated. she nods again. ]
