His answer is a surprise though, and she blinks at him owlishly in return, tilting her head as she process what he just said. The confusion is clear on her face, but it fades as he keeps speaking, her expression softening once more. His words are... uplifting, in a way. To hear about all those connections he has.
And when she sees that resolute look on his face, she can't stop herself from smiling softly - finding it hard not to be inspired by his resolve.
"People I want to protect"... It's a thought she can understand, her own eyes glancing down as well, her hands tightening around her mug for a moment.]
That's... really admirable, Sion. [Her eyes glance back over at him, a soft and warm smile curling at the edge of her lips.]
