[ so - he doesn't deny being worried, and his gaze flicks over her briefly, like he can check the status of her injuries, over the completely hateful injury of her getting impaled, and then back to her face, brows knit together. ]
... But you've made it back, now - that is what matters, above all.
[ The cuts on her face are healing! That's a good thing. The wound on her side has closed and she'll need more time in the pod to recover, but she's taking it easy and being careful. ]
I did, and I'm glad that I can be with everyone again...

... Somehow, I... I know this is wrong and I thought I got over this, but ever since I went on the mission, I've been feeling... so undeserving. Like I don't deserve to be here.
[ GOOD she better be. it's another one of those awful moments where he'd do just about anything to have his magic back, in order to soothe some of the pain.

... It may just be an aftereffect of the mission. I was hallucinating for a day or so after my own. [ which he told no one about because he's a normal person. ] Though, if hearing the affirmation otherwise - that you do deserve to be around others and away from your home - does help, I am more than happy to share it.
To tell a truth is rarely a trouble. [ as ever, his voice is calm and gentle, and - warm, too, warm like the hearth of a sacred flame. accepting, safe. ] Yuri. Your presence here is a gift to many - just barely a few days ago, Gregor and I were worrying over your safety. Not because either of us feel that you are incapable, or anything like it.

[ Yuri listens... and listens. As she is lying down on the cot, a tear runs off to the side. She tries to wipe it with the back of her hand as she sniffles. ]
... Thank you. It... Those words mean so much to me. It's so hard to internalize that, but with everyone's help, I feel like I can... gradually. To say that I deserve such things, I...
[ She's trying so hard not to erupt into waterworks. ]

Sorry... to have worried you.

If... it isn't much trouble, please... I would like that.
