[ She doesn't want him closing up on her, especially if this is something he's held in for so long. Regardless of her naïveté, she's still a princess back home. It's why it's so important for her to listen and learn.
Her hand gives his a squeeze as she stands up with him, her head lowered for a bit. ]
I don't know much about humans beyond what little I've seen at home and what I've encountered here. But when it's coming from you, I— I want to know.
[ She feels a little sheepish admitting that; after all, he has friends who have better understanding, and are better able to help him. But the thought of not being useful grates on her. Especially to someone she calls her friend. And especially to someone she feels the way she does for.
She inhales and exhales before stepping up next to him. ]
Because you're important to me. If all I can do is listen, I'll listen. But if I can give you something at all that helps... I want to. So please... tell me whatever you need to, even if it feels unimportant. I'll listen. And I'll try and help.
[ She smiles weakly. ]
Even a protector needs somewhere to place his burdens, right?
[ Her words are soft, though she ends up chuckling a bit. ]
This is a bit serious, isn't it? Forgive me. I was kept in isolation for so long that it seems I keep forgetting how to "cut loose" as they say here. But... we can't ignore the bad, sometimes. And it's good to unburden our minds of it.
[ She smiles as she looks up, hopeful! ]
How about this? I'll tell you of my burdens if I have any if you keep telling me yours! And we'll work through them together! For our sakes, and for those we want to help!
