"It's okay," she insisted. Whatever her feelings were, it wasn't anyone's fault it struck deeply. She'd only just buried someone dear to her and now to know she'd lost more... It wasn't right. It wasn't right that it was them. And that thought fell deep in her stomach, knotting there.
She lifted a hand to brush the tears from her cheeks, pressing her palm to wipe them away. A steadying breath followed, gaze initially elsewhere, and then she turned back to Lucanis. "We'll find a way." Whatever it takes, was what Rook said. She couldn't repeat it now, but she could hold on to hope.
Bellara lifted her gaze to him, a little surprised. "Oh, you...don't have to do that." Subject himself to drinks for her. "It's okay." Buuuuuut if he's volunteering... "Is there any coffee there, do you think? It doesn't really say what the ingredients are." At least that might help him if he had a little. Provided it was real coffee and not, you know, something weird.
sorry for the delay; work ate me. feel free to handwave or drop considering the wait!
