[She doesn't feel alone like this. There's always someone there and it's a friend. It's Hubert. Bernadetta is a little moved by how protected it makes her feel. Smiling, she looks down at the hands she's still holding.]

I'm sorry for doubting it. That wasn't fair to you.

[Lifting her head, she offers him a smile.]

It's still hard for me to figure out how to be a friend since it's still new to me. I guess I just thought being useful would mean I was doing well.

[A little giggle and she looks at the flower that he wears for her. She's not scared of him anymore, something he can easily feel now that they're bonded. Bernadetta has always been a more emotional young woman compared to some. It's not easy for her to hide any of what she feels.]

I'll try to get better. Promise.
