Delphine nodded, murmuring, "It's not gone forever, it can be rebuilt." Knowledge only died if the last person that knew said knowledge died. She was certain of that. She shifted, facing him, listening. She really was a good listener, when she wasn't in a downward spiral of her own.
It was only a matter of time before she spiraled, right? Noah couldn't fix her forever--he'd surely not stay to keep her together.
"I've seen monsters, you know. Lived with monsters. You're... not there, nowhere near being like that." She spoke honestly, reaching for the kettle, to pour his tea. She'd moved closer to him. After all, he was apologizing. And Noah was a shout away.
"I forgive you. I... should have listened to you, you'd told me 'no'. We're both at fault. I can see that, now." It was tangible, to grasp what had gone wrong. It made her even more certain the man in front of her was anything but evil.
He was definitely no Bellamy Rowan.
"I'm not... good at getting help, either, you know. My head's... mmm, there's a lot that's wrong. Too much to really fix. But... I used to take solace in the fact I could help others," She held the tea out to him. "...I think it kept me sane, when I was caged. Thank you for letting me help you."
He could have said no, sent her away, though he was in her space. She probably would have gone.
