I think it's hard for some people here, relying on others. But I've never really had to fight alone, so... if I can, I want to support them.

Su-sensei... how are you doing?

[her neck is even bandaged up properly! she is resting, because unfortunately she is a good girl who actually does that.]
...tired, but I think that's from the fight. I'll recover my energy after I rest.

Is there anything I can get you?
no subject
[something about that question startles her into a giggle.]
You and Kashuu really do take good care of me. I'm fine for right now, but thank you.
no subject
We're just worried. You've been through a lot this week.
no subject
I appreciate your concern, although... I'm also sorry for worrying you.

I won't lie and say that any of this is easy, because it's not. But with people like you around, it does feel easier.

[she can admit that much.]
But... I try to. I think it's admirable that you try to support people without a second thought, though. I really like that about you, Sir Yasusada.

I'm not always good at it. [He knows that. He's definitely too self-centered, sometimes.] But we were made for humans.

You don't have to be perfect at it all the time. Just keep trying.
