... you don't have to tell me the specifics if you don't want to. But if it matters so much to you, I do want to know.
That said, no matter what it is... that's a hard thing to experience no matter what. I'm sorry your faith can feel like it's testing your devotion, even when you want to give so much.
but yves frowns at that. it stings just to hear about secondhand ]
... I can tell you love her. Or at the very least, you want to show your love for the people who took you in, and in turn their goddess. Your goddess.
[ she didn't pull away earlier - so he'll just lightly set a hand on her shoulder again ]
I still think it's... okay, to not want to give someone everything. Or if you do, and they might think it's not enough... that doesn't mean they're right.
Your efforts are meaningful. I don't want you to think you're not enough for anyone.
[love is maybe not exactly the right word for either, but it's not not the right word. he does hit the nail on the head, though. she doesn't want to give everything. she wanted one thing for herself, and that was too far.]
... Thank you, Yves. I don't think anyone has said something like that to me for a long time.

[ a simple response ]
But... maybe. I'm afraid I wasn't very faithful in life. Still, even if it's common... that doesn't make it less impactful for you, right?

Then I'm happy to hear it means something to have it said now.
I'll remind you whenever you want.

Be careful what you promise. I may take advantage. [she can't stay sappy for too long.]

I think I'll try my luck. If you do, can you at least make it fun?
