She hadn't been sure if he knew, or if he wasn't sure of it. But as she watched the slowl realization dawn on his face, she just a twinge in her chest. It was out there now, too late to claw back. There was a small sense of anxiety in her heart, unsure of what he was going to say. She wasn't trying to make him feel bad, she really wasn't. The feelings had just welled up in her, and instead of supressing them as she would have normally. They had spilled out, she saw his eyes welling, and felt her lip start to tremble. Oh god, Nessa's one weakness, if anything, was the sight of someone crying. She couldn't help it, her own eyes began to well in response. She took a shaky breathe, feeling the moment begin to take over, as the emotions rose to the surface.
Suddenly, he leaned forward and his arms were around her. Squeezing her tightly, she stiffened for a moment, before burying her head in his chest, accepting his hug. She brought her up hands up, hesitantly wrapping them under his arms holding onto his shoulders. She felt a tear slid down her cheek, she heard his words. Their genuine care tugging at her heart, she shook her head. "Please don't.." She whispered, pressing in closer. "I'm not sad I came Aven, really I'm not. I just... there's isn't a day were I don't miss her." She told him, her voice trembling. Despite the tears, she was able to restrain herself from breaking into a complete sob. She had cried long enough to somewhat contain it. After a moment, she pulled her head back enough so she could look at him, as she spotted the wet patches on his clothes she let out an awkward laugh. "Oh god, I've soaked your top," She said before looking up at his face. "But you know, I think she'd be really proud of us for creating Radiant Light." She told him earnestly.
