Just Because It Burns

Relm wasn't great at finding emotions just as well as she was at showing them. Reading the room wasn't her forte, so as Iki's eyes welded and tears dropped she wouldn't notice. Not until she was patting them away.

She wasn't quite sure how to react at first. She liked to be left alone in her darker times. Though she knew at heart that's not what she needed. Though it was more wanting the ones she cared about most being there for her. Kichi, Alastor. Iki would have been a good vent of emotion to get out at least. She just stood there silent for a moment, clearly noticing the change in her friend.

It took a few long seconds before what Ikigai told her really sunk into her head. It was then that she laid down, just a little closer to Iki than she had been standing. "Iki... I, I'm sorry." She paused, maybe at a loss of what to say. But that really wasn't it. Iki was really important to her even if she had a difficult time saying so. And she did want her to know that she was here for her just like she had been. "Is there anything you want me to do?" For her, because even in this shut down state she had found herself in, she would have done anything in her power for Iki.
