When Terra moves to her the thief wrapped her arms tight around her friend in turn, hugging close as the woman's sorrow unleashes. She remains where she sank beside the Esper, maintaining the embrace as tears soak her shoulder. The normally restless, energetic girl gives no indication of wanting to move, for Terra she'll stay still.

A cheek leans comfortingly against the girl burrowed away against her, as Rikku wishes there was a way to chase the pain away.

Rikku remembered Terra asking how you knew if you could love, and then how you could tell if you were in love not long ago -- now this. It...wasn't fair. Was it so much to want the people you cared about happy?

There's a slight nod at the words in understanding, felt since they are cheek to cheek -- and some of Terra's tear's are scrubbed away onto the Al Bhed at the motion. Not to minimize what the Esper must be going through, for everyone's grief is a private hell. Her voice, normally chipper, rings with sympathy.

"Nothing hurts like losing people you love."
