[ . . . . oh flayn. lili just sighs quietly before going to collect some of the napkins from her bag. she brought them out here so she could wipe at her hands after feeding bunnies snacks, but she has extra so now they're going to be used to gently wipe at flayn's tears.]
Your crying face is at least cuter than some people's... but we'll get you cleaned up properly after this.
[please stop being gently insulting to your friend]
Mm. You just need to be yourself - and that'll be enough for people. At least... it's enough for me.
[for as much as lili's opinion counts]
.... but you have to let yourself be sad, too. I don't want you to start bottling it all up and not telling anyone. Even I have to give in sometimes...
[lili's opinion counts more than she might think. flayn manages a small, watery smile as lili takes the napkins to her face.
it's hard not to be sad. flayn isn't sure that she'll be able to stop being sad until they've made it out of here, but she doesn't want to dwell on it forever, either. there are people like lili, who are aggressive in their kindness. isn't that something to be happy about?
You don't really need to thank me for anything. It's been a terrible weekend, and everyone's suffered. If you don't give yourself the chance to be a bit upset, you're only going to carry it with you into the week.
If anyone tells you that you're not allowed to take time for yourself, I'll beat them up with my own two fists.

she sniffles again and takes a breath.]

It's just that simple.

I will if you force my hand - so rest.
