( He says it's alright. That he chose his end. But it still doesn't make it any easier, does it? After all, everyone is just human. No one wants to die. They all want to stay to be there for the important people to them. She may be young, but she knows that he's saying this for her sake. She shakes her head softly at him and reaches over to lightly touch his hand, an action meant to be comforting. It only occurs to her after she's already done it that he might not want to be touched. Whoops. )

No, you did what you had to. But that doesn't make it any easier, does it?

( Her smaller hand leaves his finally and settles back around the cup of tea. She takes a moment to gather her thoughts, lifting the cup to her mouth and sipping some of it's contents. It's good. Pleasantly warm, which is nice in this land of no sun. It reminds her of a time that was hazy to her, back when she had a grandmother to comfort her and tell her stories. It reminds her of home.

She looks back to him, lowering the cup to rest on her palm. )

No, don't apologize. I think it's good to be able to learn more about one another while we're here.

( A pause. The corners of her lips lift in a small, but genuine smile. )

My name is Kairi. it's nice to meet you.
