[Misery she found, compounded itself in silence, and when the only thing she could hear was her own crying, it seemed too loud to hear anything else, certainly not him. But then misery also loved company.
It's only after she's exhausted, that it sort of dies itself, sobs just become little hitches of breath, and she wasn't one to wallow, because if she started down that path, she'd never stop. Best to let this be done as quickly as possible, like poison from a wound. Only this one would fester no doubt for awhile, like any deep fear did. Trying to hide it though, she pulled out her handkercheif, that she had embroidered with that swan, and pressed it to her eyes, drying them.

Normally she'd be overjoyed, fuss over him like she had before. Right now, she couldn't manage a smile. For one so usually animate, she's dulled.
Just one slow breath in, before dropped her eyes down and away.] I had no thought you would come to this place, my lord Shisui. Shouldn't you be resting for your eye?
