Rikku felt it was her fault, at least, for leading her new friend to such a dark place. The girl had to wonder, did hardships make heroes? She made a note to tread lighter in the future. When the mage speaks, Rikku bites her lower lip slightly. At first Rikku thought the reaction was fear of what might happen, and truly the thought that you could be controlled to the girl who had known its torture was terrifying enough for her to believe the strong reaction was suitable to a fear of what might be. It wasn't though, was it? Why would someone be so afraid of something they did not know? Terra's words made it clear, something had happened.

"Terra, I said friends tell each other everything, but. Only if they want to ok? You can always talk to me, about anything. I don't want you to force yourself to if it's gonna be painful though, only if it would help. I didn't mean to, bring up such hurtful things." Rikku's hand moves gently, hesitantly, to try and support the woman's arm when she sees the green haired woman sway. She was worried it was a bad idea, whatever had happened to Terra, it may well be possible touch is the last thing she wants - but she looked ready to collapse, and Rikku wasn't about to let her get hurt.

"Please, you really need to lay down. I'll lock the shop, people will just think you're on lunch and won't know any better. Ok?" Maybe she could find a cool cloth somewhere too.
