[Hm. That's... different. There are many reasons she is so hesitant to go into detail about her past, not the least of which that it is simply quite painful for her to do so. But also... who could possibly understand? The weight of destiny laid upon her and Link's shoulders alone - to explain would earn her little more than pity she has no use for, in her mind.

But for a second, she thinks she would get more than that from Giorno. Not so strongly that she suddenly feels safe dumping everything at his feet, but... enough to put the thought in her head that it might be okay, one day.]

Most would not say that about someone who held them at knifepoint.

[She writes, lightly, an attempt to say that she's okay, really. At least for now.]

But I appreciate the sentiment. Truth be told, I do not know what could be done that would ease this uncertainty I have, at least not off the top of my head. I would only ask that you keep yourself away from undue danger, when possible.

And perhaps be a little easy on teasing me when these worries show themselves around you.

["is that all" GOD--]

[There’s a faint pulse of amusement and fondness at once, the emotional equivalent of a chin laid delicately in the palm of one’s hand. All right, all right. She’s fine for now, then.]

you held me at knifepoint for my own good. i need someone willing to do that sometimes, you know? i’m not always good at knowing my limits, in case you hadn’t noticed.

but i will try to be better about it if it will help you. i’m not used to [Hm.] having people worry about me. [That’s better than having people around to worry about me, isn’t it? A little?] and i will try not to tease you now that i understand a little better.

[..........................]

not about this, anyway [Oh No]

[sageprincess]

[It's not better, exactly; nothing has been well and truly fixed. But being a little broken seems... okay, in this moment, and even as he commits to teasing her about other things, it only gets an enduring sigh.]

I shall appreciate your attempts at restraint.

Thank you, Giorno.
