[ It's nowhere near the first time he's said something like that, and so while it's not surprising to be told, it is... a comfort, and one she's not sure she'll ever get used to. At the very least, it'll never lose value. It's been a long, long time since there was anyone she could confide in like this, and longer still since it was someone who could listen, and hear what she was trying to say, instead of seeing only the things she'd done wrong, or the ways she should have reacted, or how she should have felt.

Time for Ruka to scurry upstairs for some paper and to leave all the "try to get the delivery guy to leave before he realizes he's in an imPort neighborhood and starts asking for autographs and favors" work to Jaime. ]
