[ Her arms tighten around him at his question. Nothing--he has done nothing wrong by her. Her head shakes as if to further illustrate this fact.

When she believes there is nothing else he could do to cause her feelings to deepen? He proves her wrong.
It must be only because of her own exhaustion. It took no small amount of aether to heal their mutual friend. However, it truly did not hit her until this moment. Everything seems to be cascading in a blink of an eye, and she struggles to keep it all in place. She is here to help him, not cry to him as a child would about how unfair the world is.

The question in her eyes asks if she could truly call his home just that--home. Would it not burden him further? Cause him more distress under social sway? That is the last thing she wishes ever to be to him. A burden.
Her hands move to once again hold his head between them. ]
