[Something is wrong. Something is terribly wrong. This is the first time she's seen Stelle like this - even in her hazy memories right after being run through by Death, and their reunion here in Ellipsa after she'd revealed her true self to Stelle in Penacony... she hadn't seen tears come this fast to the other girl like this. It makes the bottom of Firefly's stomach drop out at the same time her heart twists painfully, and her mind begins to race.
What happened? Is Stelle okay back home? Are the rest of the Express members okay? The Stellaron Hunters? Had things gone wrong in whatever world they'd traveled to after Penacony?
So many questions, but she knows if she asks now, that might just make Stelle spiral harder. Whatever new memories are fresh in her mind might be raw, an open wound that sends bolts of pain at even the slightest touch. So she holds her tongue for now, arms reaching up to hold Stelle with all the strength she has in her body.]
Just let it out. You're okay. I promise, Stelle - with me, you're okay.
[She keeps her voice as gentle and soothing as she can as she steps back, guiding Stelle inside and nudging the door closed with her foot. Shut away the outside world, so Stelle doesn't have to think about it or any eyes on them for the moment.]
putting them to use in the most painful way!!!
