Wrong? No.. [She says that softly, an almost-gentleness in her tone as her fingers squeeze against his once again, as they follow the lines of the back of his hand to his wrist then slide back again.] It isn't wrong, but I cannot help but find it strange.

[The Dolorosa looks up at him then, her gaze staying on his face as if examining it, flicking from one feature to another.]

You have already vastly improved my opinion of you, Dualscar, or I would not be here.. but you must not forget where I came from. These changes are very abrupt, from my perspective.

[Her expression softens, and she turns his hand over, stroking her thumb over his palm.]

I can give you the benefit of the doubt, and the opportunity to earn my trust, if you can be patient with me in return.
