I have your company. [ this is easing away the more anxious, unpleasant feelings into something warmer. softer. the general overhang of sadness probably won't go away entirely, given the circumstances, but it's nice to have a distraction. it's nice to not feel like she has to dwell on them. ]
I have your promise to protect me. And you've listened to me cry more than anyone else here. [ this shouldn't be a joke and - really, it isn't - but she doesn't know how to articulate her own lack of support until coming here. ]
[there's a little bit of amusement, at that, as she starts to relax. it's still sad and everything still sucks, but finding small moments of peace is a relief.]
I will do that as many times as you need me to. [she says, absently petting at nahri's side.] I'm glad and surprised to know my company is sufficient.
[it rarely has been before - they've both never been told things like this and had the other person mean them, apparently.]
