[Kravitz has seen so much grief over the years, but very rarely has he ever had to deal with his own. It's... something to behold, but not as interesting when he's the one grieving.]

I would like to be hopeful, but under the circumstances it's... difficult. That said, I-- I appreciate it. Truly.

[He attempts some sort of smile, at least. He isn't feeling it, but he does feel he should put up a show for someone trying to be kind.]

Really, I'm not used to people noticing anything about me, so I do feel your kindness.
