Kaisel
Haters on my back like a backpack
The look he gives her is just as unimpressed at this new attempt of reassurance as the first. "Oh, well if you're not not fine, then by all means, I cannot not believe you." His lips quirk in a mild grin, shaking his head at the absurdity of it all. Not wanting to unload on him he gets, but if she's gonna lie about how she is, she's needs to improve it a fair bit.
She does give him a little bit of something though, so he quiets, just the sound of water slipping over skin as she explains carefully. "Sometimes you gotta embrace the not fine to get to the will be fine," he says sagely. "I went through kinda the same thing recently," he starts as a way of offering some common ground. "It's why I stayed in King's End while you all went back to Stormbreak. I felt all...mixed up about a lot of things, and it felt like maybe I could find more of myself and sort it out better with somewhere new to do it in. Y'know, break old habits by reducing familiar triggers and paths and stuff. Test myself, try new things, see what's out there and if part of it might contain me." He'd traveled a lot that season and met new people. He'd also ruined a lot along the way, but the upheaval made one path extremely clear to him when it'd all settled.
His legs still and he glances back at her. "I also got some plants. Those helped a lot."
He softens a bit more though, recognizing a bit of what she doesn't say. "We all had a lot happen to us last year. I know some of what you went through, but I know there's like twice as many things you keep to yourself about it all. So just, know it was all shit, but it's behind you now. You survived it. You beat it. And look! Now your not not fine!"

Blowin' up I'm fucking flawless
