“Good,” she answers, looking somewhat smug at his agreement to train, but she’s just more relieved that he seems better now than how he was when he first messaged her.
The way he reaches over and takes her hand makes her features soften, and she returns the squeeze. “Any time,” she promises. “Some things may have changed between us, but...some haven’t. I’ll always be here for you when you need me.”
She turns to look at him so he can see that she’s sincere, and she gives him a small, reassuring smile. It’s impossible to not wonder sometimes how life would have been if she hadn’t been killed, if she would have survived the fight with the Oni, and for a moment it’s as if her heart aches at what was cut so tragically short.
She hides it well, though, and she gives his hand another squeeze before she stands as well. She even lets out a small laugh at his suggestion of a chick flick. “You’re thinking of the wrong roommate, I don’t do those. Granted, I don’t know if this is much better; I was starting to watch the new Jumanji. Because apparently that’s a thing now?”
She rolls her eyes before she tugs him with her to her apartment. In the morning she’ll do what she can to look into this, even if she has no idea how to fix it. But, at the very least, she’ll be here for him as long as he needs her.
