[ She should have been happy to know he might be back with the people from his world who cared about him, and she was. There wasn't any bitterness, just sorrow at the sudden parting. So when Zen offered reassurances that her reaction was a natural one Rapunzel felt a small sense of relief from her guilt nearly immediately. If it would stay that way was yet to be seen, but she trusted Zen, and if he said he would've felt the same were their situations reversed then she believed it without question. She's just glad that it hadn't come to that, knowing now how it felt. Rapunzel didn't want him beating himself up with guilt, but neither did she want him to be on the receiving end of that sort of sudden isolation and loss.
The warmth of his palm was more from the emotion the touch stirred rather than his body temperature having returned to normal just yet, but nonetheless, Rapunzel cupped the back of that hand so that she could press her cheek into it a little more, expression still a little guilty as she processed his words.
Eventually, she did accept that he was right, and if for no other reason than to reassure him she mustered up a smile. The warmth and affection that she felt for him was there and for what it was worth it did seem she had taken his words to heart.
He felt the same. For now, at least with regards to her admission, that was what mattered. ]
I do, you mean a lot to me, Zen. More than anything I just want you to be happy, wherever you are.
