[ It is no small blessing to Ori that both of her partners do so much, time and time again, to ensure that she knows how much she and all of her thoughts and feelings mean to them. With Thoma, charismatic as he is, it often comes in the form of praise, of adoring words and of warm and affectionate gestures that show just how much he cares for her. Diluc may be more subtle - like in the way that he holds her a little closer - or more direct at times, but she feels the intent and appreciates it - and Diluc - all the same. She would be ill-fated and a horrible partner if she couldn't at least recognize and appreciate the different ways in which they both express themselves, and she wants nothing more than to do the best that she can for them.

There's nothing subtle, at least, about the way she relaxes all the more as he rubs her shoulder and reaffirms the idea of taking regular walks together, and in turn her own arm moves up so she can wrap it around his waist as they walk. ]
