[ She's surprised at the embrace, but accepts it, allowing herself to be drawn toward that warmth. It was her own fault, for being careless with her words, for not following the course of the light-heartedness of the conversation and... exposing vulnerability. So strange, that would never have been capable of even that not too long ago. Of managing light-heartedness or even... conversation or better navigating this... unease, if not for those bonds, one of them the very reason she was here right now.
It was Lup's party, and she should not have reason to look over to scold them once more. ]
... Worry not. They are... aware of such things.
[ Her... shortcomings, all she had lacked and what she had found. Lup most of all, at that. She would not be family if she were not aware.
But now she has upset Pyra, who must feel now that there is little more she can say or do than to offer what she does. There is little that Honerva can offer her for peace of mind, but with the way her fingers brush through her hair, there is one thing that she might. She does not understand the fascination, but that was her own loss. ]
Perhaps you might... braid my hair instead.
[ Instead of worrying, instead of feeling that she must... be obligated to console her in some way. ]
