[ She wishes she could answer anything for him— but all she can do is act as she has for the people she's worked so hard to help through their own pain from wars and conflicts.
Some even caused by the people of the empire this very being before her has created.
She knows she should hate him— she thought of that so much in that other city, and yet... there was so much else to him beyond that, even if he was part of a group of beings that were even more of a threat to them for generations.
But he's here now. Where he's as powerless as her— she may be nothing in the grand scheme of it all, but... she remembers when he felt nothing more than any other person she would befriend in her adventures.
He's just the person she called Emmy, to her. The friend she made, and all she wants is to let him feel safe in that friendship.
When he finally seats himself, she sits down by his side and moves her arms over her knees. After some minutes of being seated in silence, one hand lifts to the side of the cowl, tapping the back of her hand over the fabric covering where his ear is, trying to bring some levity to the situation with her next words. ]
