Oh... I am so sorry... I... Didn't mean to hold you like that. I promise I wont hug you - and, and... If - you... I mean.. Not that we would lay together at any point, I assure you though - we need not lay near each other what so ever. I will not come upon you ever at any point.

[ She means. To cuddle for warmth, to share a bed and sleep gently. To keep you close and know she is not alone in our more weaker moments - sleep. She will not ever come near you, fearing that perhaps. She has made herself seem unsightly, and finds herself feeling the same way her people made her feel. She feels... So sorry for thinking she could be close with Mizuki like that. A sort of platonic intimacy, shared between people who are comfortable with touching or holding one another.

Caoimhe thinks, it has to do with her - not him. She is so sorry. ]

Oh..

[ Is what she initially felt but what she discerns from Mizuki's words here is that - she matters to him. They are friends, and she supposes that he simply does not care for skinship. Her heart races still, and her mind does not shy her away from anxieties - but she tries... Because she values her friend so much. ]

Y-Yes... [ Taking a short deep breath, she goes from tense... To someone attempting to relax. ] To be fair... I... Enjoy talking to you the most out of everyone here... I feel like I am home.
