And it gave her some semblance of relief; her confidence in Anju had never waned, but the Caretaker had been confused and puzzled by the lot of it as well. To hear the Captain had done so out of her own free will was more a blessing than she realized; even if she’d chosen to bury and immerse herself within Dahlia’s predilections. “I’m glad to hear that,” she gave with a smile, reassurance, consolation, and some assuagement in all the daunting things. “So even though she chose to remain within,” and she waved her hands, signifying ‘council’ without saying it out loud, as if those listening might be able to reach them here. Talking around the parameters still felt off and weird, but she trusted if Koa didn’t understand or partake her meaning, he’d ask. “She at least did so out of her own volition.”
