She kisses him softly on the forehead. "Oh, love."

She holds him just that little bit closer. "It is not wrong to want to be viewed as desirable. Not wrong to feel things when one knows one is desired."

"I know you would not hurt me in such a way, but I am not surprised you should attract such attention." Her smile is a bit sappy. "You are lovely, Skellig. Kind, a good listener, a good friend."

She chuckles. "Given what he told us and what he did NOT say, I would be more surprised if he wasn't drawn strongly to you."
