For a moment she wasn't sure if the other would accept her offer or not, but then the girl approached and shook off her umbrella before entering the cave. It was very courteous of her to try and keep as much of the water out of Rikka's home as she could, and the effort was appreciated even if it wasn't shown on the woman's drawn features. The girl spoke her thanks, but her face remained immobile. Something about her reminded Rikka of Vieira and she wondered if she had lived a similar sad life to the poor slave girl. It had been a long time since she had seen the false Lykoi and she wondered how she was doing. It was probably best for both of them if they stayed apart though. She knew she made Vieira very uncomfortable, despite her best efforts. "It's no problem." Her own face stayed fairly neutral as well, nothing like the Rikka that would have been seen a couple months back. The question was expected, though it didn't stop her from frowning at the thought of what had happened to her. The girl was quick to apologize, but it wasn't necessary. It was only natural for her to ask such a question when someone was so clearly injured as Rikka was. The de le Poer shook her head, indicating it was okay. "It's okay, you don't have to apologize," she said in a flat tone. "I was attacked, right after the war started." She could say that much, but going into it more than that would be painful. She would try, if Haruhi was still curious, but the details would be minimal. She had relived it enough as it was. "I'm Rikka, it's good to meet you." Looking around for a moment and noticing the girl's fidgeting fingers she managed a weak smile that quickly disappeared again. "You can sit down, if you want." Just because she wasn't her usual self didn't mean she couldn't be hospitable. |
