[He didn't understand that his parents had died? How could he not understand? Dead was dead? She tilted her head as he spoke of his uncle, the thief who had also died. He had thought he would never get over it?
There's a burning ache in her chest that she thinks will never go away, no matter how much she ignores it. But it got better? She was glad to know that. She hated feeling like this. She could push it away every day, throw herself into activity. But this train provides a lot of thinking time and that's not a good thing.
So he keeps going, even when he is leaky eyed and talks too much and gets into trouble because he doesn't know how to be still or silent.
She likes him despite all of that, despite herself because she knows he is light addled and an idiot but he's fun to be around. Maybe it's not his fault if he came from a place where no one ever trained him properly.]
I can be helping. If you do be wanting. To be making it no be hurting as much... [Very tentatively, but she's been in the emptiness around enough people that it can't be considered a secret anymore. They don't know her world, they don't know that it's unusual for a child not brought up in the temple to know it. She's already spoken of Kant though and she can lie, claim it's a trick everyone knows.]
