[ Era watches as Pyra receives comfort unflinchingly and wonders if she could have so readily accepted such contact if things were different. If people had bothered to ever offer comfort to her, or teach her that not all touch needed ulterior motives, or involved pain.
Instead, when she was most in most desperate need of comfort, she accidentally brought 'Fray' into existence because there was no one left to offer her any.
She looks away, frowning at her hands. Why is she here? She has never liked idle gossip or chatter, and she does not belong. She would rather be back in her temporary 'home' with Hades, working on new arcane geometries. Doing something useful.
Esteem shoves a snack into her hands, distracting her. For once, they decide to obey Era's wish and hold their tongue. The truth that rest upon it is one they know Era doesn't need to hear right now.
But how naive it is, to make such an assumption. You can't know someone who doesn't yet know themselves. ]
