Novella owed an awful lot to Frith. He had kept her going when her parents had died and now that this depressed state loomed over her he would still do whatever he could to support her, to try lift her spirits and help her get better. So far there hadn't been any major improvements despite his best efforts and she felt bad for that. And yet, here she was apologising for all and Frith once more pushing all blame away from her. She felt at fault somewhere down the line, his words wouldn't change that but she wouldn't argue.
Once more silence took over though despite her confession and still lack of a solution she wouldn't break down as she had earlier. The peaceful qualities of the shrine would continue to try wash all the pain away, they of course wouldn't completely cure her though that subtle calm remained in place and Novella remained in place beside Frith. Did she deserve his affections, his sympathetic and selfless nature? She probably didn't, though even on her normal days she had always thought herself lucky to have him in her life.
