[Kisara looks a touch sympathetic. It's not overbearing. She tries not to be, that is. She can't claim to know what's going on in Shionne's head and in truth, she doesn't know her a great deal aside from what they all experienced together when going through the Razum Quarry. If anything, she feels like everyone else knows her significantly more so, and that was only because of the way circumstance played out.

It is very possible that someone like Shionne has often felt like she has no place. Why would she, after all? She can't be touched. Can't touch others. Always has to be held off at a distance. To anyone, it would feel like being in a world all her own with no one else to turn to. A captive in a world that she hasn't been able to free herself from.

But that's what they're trying to do. Kisara doesn't imagine it'll be easy. There might even be a price for such a thing. Freedom, after all, always comes with a price. She has found herself more than once wondering what it'll be. Shionne might very well know better than the rest of them.]

Maybe we can find a way to work through that while we're here. We don't know until we try, right? I'm not going to give up. You shouldn't either, but if you find that you're having difficulty facing it, I'll carry you. Maybe not in the way that Alphen can, but I will in my own way.

[She's not willing to just surrender. As long as there's a fighting breath in her, she has to use it.]
