[ Oh... friends? Mira had thought of Allura as a friend, but to hear Allura say it... It's almost too much. She moves a little closer and hugs Allura. She's much shorter than Allura, she notices. Strange thing to think about but...
Either way, she hugs her, and looks up at her. ]
I thought... you'd be angry at me for my powers. It means more than I could ever say that you aren't.
You can't help it any more than I can help my alchemy. [Or Keith his heritage. Oh, hello again barely repressed guilt.] ... I know what damage undue anger can cause, and you have done nothing to earn it.
[ Her first instinct is to tell Allura she's wrong, but... she stops herself. She thinks about Allura's words... and realizes the truth behind it. She pulls away from Allura and grasps her hands gently. ]
Your saying that... means more than I can ever tell you.
[It's a day of fighting first instincts; it's f i n e. She lets Mira pull away, and gently squeezes the hands holding hers. Why does she have a distinct feeling that magic was not so widely accepted in Mira's reality?]
I take it not all feel that way. [Which is... sad, honestly.] If anyone ever does give you trouble over it; let me know.
I'm told I have a very mean punch. [The look in her eyes says she's joking, as does her voice; but it's an understatement. The strength in her grasp attests as much and she's being very careful not to squiiish.]
[Allura gently squeezes back. She wants to disagree with that assessment, say that she's hurt those she considers family, but... she holds her tongue.]
So do you. [She laughs quietly.] We should probably head back. I imagine Keith's likely going out of his mind by now due to the lingering paranoia from his own trial.

You'll be the first to know, but I think... it'll be okay. I was so scared to tell you, but I feel a little silly now.
[ She squeezes her hands. ]
You have such a good heart, Allura.

Oh-- if... you'd like to talk to anyone, about your trial or anything... I'm here for you. You listened to me, after all.

[Not a complete lie; she doesn't really know if she could manage to put it to words.]
no subject
[ She trails off. ]
... But however long you need, if you need to talk... I'll listen.
no subject
[Always the diplomat, this one. She smiles, but it doesn't reach her eyes this time - understanding shines there.]
The same goes for you as well. If you ever need to talk about it...
no subject
... Thank you. Later, though. I think I just need a very long nap for now.
no subject
Of course. [She never said it had to be right away, after all. And naps are good.]
