His words settle between her ears and for several moments, despite the way hand presses to her shoulder, she's locked into her thoughts. She's not a very good friend, she thinks. Never really has been. Still doesn't actually know how to be one. Overthinking it, probably. Someone like Kisara makes it seem so easy. They all do, actually. As if it's so... simple to care for another person. And for someone like Beatrix, it's just not.
