[Defensive. ...familiarly defensive. And it seems that she definitely hasn't wound down much since.
For the moment, Espio decides it is best to not tell her how much he relates to her outburst, and how close it had come to what he's been keeping bottled in for a very long time. How much a stranger 'understands' is probably the last thing she wants to hear.]
Honestly, I kind of expected a snippy 'I'm fine, leave me alone', but that's how I would answer. I'm just someone who worries about people when they are hurt, even if I can't do anything about it.
You don't have to answer, but I've found that sometimes people need someone to yell at that isn't their friend. It's cathartic.
Well, what good is a shallow 'I understand' or 'I'm so sorry' gonna do? I am still concerned. I'm not sure I'd call it pity - I just worry about most people, and I can't help that.
Still, I won't push. I'll just put myself out there as someone to listen if you need to scream at something. You don't know me, so it doesn't matter if it hurts.
