Maybe Alys, Frey, and Isla were all correct. Maybe opening up, repairing burnt bridges, reaching out to those who understand - it really is necessary for healing.

"Let's do it. Only fair I get to see my perfect hideaway after all the work I've done, hm?" With no threat of persuasion or shattered inhibitions, it will merely be a pleasant experience she can share with him at her side. Perhaps even more healing for her to see such a perfectly tailored place given the hangups she'd expressed at the inn in Torchline.
The moment he takes her hand - because these days, she's sure he will when she offers it - Ru pulls him up and walks backward with a smile, ready to be shown around properly.
