[ Gosh, she looks so cute when she’s confused. Jion laughs, but it quickly peters off into a thoughtful noise as he turns over Kisa’s wrapped-up mirror in his hands; it’s quiet at the moment. ]
I think it makes sense though ... I’ve deal with some scary things before, right? But just because you can handle a scary thing doesn’t mean it’s not scary, or not exhausting. I know it can get pretty tiring if you try to handle everything, especially alone. And I think that’s when you have to decide what’s important and what’s not!
[ A firm nod to punctuate his point as he continues. ] Like, there’s things, or people that are super super important to you, right? And for those things, you’ll be able to deal with scary things? I think as long as you know what those are, then it’s okay to sometimes admit that something is too scary, and you need more time to handle it, or maybe you’d like someone to help you. There’s nothing wrong with being a ‘coward’ in that way, that’s just knowing what’s most important to you!
[ It's not that she thinks it's weird, but it's certainly a lot to process. Especially when what her mirror had told her was still fresh in her mind. She was a coward. She ran away all the time, after trying to defend herself had only earned her more ridicule. Even when she'd known she'd be inconveniencing others.
But here Jion is, telling her that it's okay to run, as long as she remembers what's important. And as long as she doesn't do it alone.
I'm glad if it makes sense, but you can think over it a little bit, too!
[ Jion laughs as he pats Kisa's hair over the blanket. But not too hard, because maybe that's kinda condescending? Hopefully she doesn't take it badly. ]
Stuff like that always takes a while to understand, at least for me. But thinking over it slowly helps, I think! Maybe while you're in bed? I can, like, try and make something warm for you to drink, too, if you don't mind me borrowing your kitchen?
Cool. You go ahead and get back in your bed first, okay? Um, here. [ Handing Kisa her wrapped-up mirror. ] It turns out if you're too far away from it, it like, teleports back to you? And it'd probably get out of the wrapping. So hold onto it for a bit, okay? Put it under a pillow if it gets too noisy.
[ And with that, he trots off to the kitchen. Plundering someone else's kitchen extensively feels rude, so he settles for something simple -- he peeks into Kisa's room after a few moments with a mug of warm water with honey and a squeeze of lemon. ]
[ Oh, great. He'd worried the mirror might have been causing a fuss while he was away. ]
Here you go. Careful, it's still pretty warm, okay? [ He hands the mug over and makes sure she has a firm grip on it before wiping his hands on his pants. ] You should drink up, though. It's easy to grow sick when you're stressed out. So stay warm and take care of yourself, okay?

Still mystified, Kisa nonetheless nods slowly. ]
