[looking over] You know... You needn't refer to Lightning as a monster.

[... blinks at him, looking at him oddly for a moment before looking a bit embarrassed]

[Catches Allen's hand...]

[... ///]

I really wonder if I would hide it too, losing my mind long enough to hurt someone.

That is assuming it does happen...

... "I'll stop him." I told everyone that.

[nods]

I won't betray everyone who believes in me.

Then there is no need to give that question too much thought.

[huffs]

Guess not.

...Well, at the very least I'm sure you would apologize.

[just sorta resting Allen's hand on his own shoulder or something. sssitting...]

. . .

Mm.

[. . .]

It's a shame we don't have books...

Reading is your thing, isn't it? I'd probably cross my eyes.

I suppose. It kept me occupied, in any case. I probably shouldn't be bothering you when you should be resting.

No, I'm glad you're here. It would've been lonely. And I'm glad you talked to me... and I was even complaining about Hydra and Canis at first.

You help me all the time, I want to be able to return it sometimes.

[shakes his head] Your presence is enough... I wouldn't mind reading while you rested.

[--blushes] Is that really enough...

[--maybe shouldn't have said that out loud. well, kind of too late now]

It's familiar.

[e-ears are still red]

...Mm. It's familiar. Still...

. . .

I'm glad you don't mind listening to me... [is what I should have said first]

. . . We're friends, aren't we?

Mm. I know. Naturally you'd hear me out...

Even if you're trying to be strong for your team, you can't be strong all the time. You'll just stress yourself out.

Ah... Honestly, I wouldn't have come here at all today if I were worried about appearing strong...
