Ah, yes, a Kerra-san did. Well, she only mentioned it because she... asked about my abilities. [They'll... go with that. And not that there was some really interesting forms of "touching" going on after the admission of abilities.] That's good, though. [Friends are good, Ouse supposes - she knows the depths of Yuri's loneliness to be as bad as her own, though perhaps with a more potentially favorable outcome. Or there would have been had some crystals not intervened here.

As for the other question...]

I... am sore, and feel very out of place. [Sore, literally, because her skin is healing. Out of place should be obvious. And she is admitting to it because... well, she doesn't want to withhold too much from Yuri.] But, I suppose it's better than all that time I spent drowning? I... worry about what the abandonment of my duties means for the mountain and the surrounding areas, though. I cannot really afford to be here. [She... can't have this kind of life. She can't have any kind of life. She's a guardian of something far greater than herself, and the only bulwark against a terrible end for a lot of people.]
