About to argue that Zavien had done nothing wrong - that Soh was the one who had brought up the uncomfortable topics of the day - she stopped at the mention of Lena's name, blinking stupidly over at Zavien. It wasn't that she was surprised; after all, she hadn't forgotten that her friend had died, and it had to have been more traumatic for him.
But, as the resident queen of unresolved trauma, one could argue that Soh was uniquely qualified to assist in this particular moment.
Shifting so that she could meet Zavien’s gaze more squarely, there was no hesitation as she vehemently said, ”First of all, you haven’t messed anything up.” She reached to take his hand, linking her fingers with his. ”Second of all, you’re allowed to take as much time as you need to process loss. There’s no timeline on grief. And, finally, you won’t ever be ‘dumping’ anything on me. I care about you. Even before yesterday, I would have been here for you, and that’s only more true now.”
Swallowing hard, Soh made sure to hold his gaze, insistent. ”You don’t have to talk to me, but you can. I’ll be here either way.”
