There's an uneasiness in the pit of her stomach, as if she'd just been slugged by a solid hook to the kidney that rocked her foundation. The last thing she had been expecting, let alone an apology for something that he wasn't even responsible for, was to hear him speak of the events that she had been through.

Much of the early months in Crystallis in his company had been held with malice, a thorn-covered grasp wrapped around her thoughts when thinking of him. She'd bled so many times because of him, both physically and emotionally, and it had been the most difficult thing she had faced thus far. To put behind her the sort of prejudice that would keep progress at a standstill, it was something that still lingered from time to time before she realized where her mind had gone. The sight of him, the sound of his voice, many things about him stirred up the memories of her turmoil and grief.

However, this was not Gaia. This was not her home, this was not the world she knew. Holding such a grudge would only eat away at her, and it is for this reason that she hands the letter out to him. Her arm extended, she gives the tall gentleman a rather displeased look as her free hand settles on her hip with a confident push.

"What are you apologizing for? You said it yourself. You aren't that man, right?"
