[ Normally he appreciates that Machina was about as much a realist as he was. It felt nice having something who felt the same as him about things, but this time, it just hurt to hear. Not that Machina would tell him this at this time, just that he was finding it hard to believe everything would be okay. ]
[Yeeeeeeeah once he says it, Machina actually realizes how bad it sounds and how not at all helpful. He's not meaning to be cruel, just uncertain what to do in this sort of situation.]
Would you like some help with the pets until they're back? Or... Regis always brings me ice cream when things look bad.
[A little thing that somehow always makes him smile.]
[ Squall gives him a small smile in return. It's not like he was upset with Machina or anything. It's just harder to lie to himself with the truth thrown at him. ]

[ Squall turns his head to finally look up at Machina. He gave him a soft smile but it almost seemed like it was forced. ]

Going home for most people, least the ones I know of.... it's usually not good.

Ice cream, huh...

[He beckons for Squall to join him. Hopefully the offer is enough to get his friend moving and not just moping.]
Have to enjoy it while we can. You can gloat to Sora about missing out when he's back.
