I just recently finished Eder’s personal quest, and it gave me some feelings, and a bit of an idea of a scene.

“I just don’t know what I’m supposed to say to him.“ 

There was a look of pain and frustration on Eder’s face as he spoke that threatened to break Ariela’s heart in two as he stood across from the quiet little corner where she and Aloth were sitting, still pressed up against one another with a large tome spread out across both of their laps even despite having promptly abandoned their study session after the approach of their friend. 

"I don’t think that there’s really a guideline, Eder.” She responded, a sympathetic look on her face as she met his gaze, before her sights drifted past him to settle on the young boy sitting quietly in the opposite corner of the ship. “There’s no real right or wrong answer.”

“Yeah, well, saying the right things to people isn’t exactly what I’m strongest at.”

“I think that you’re giving yourself too little credit, darling. You’re normally very in tune with what people are feeling. And you were a big help to me when I was dealing with my Awakening.” Ariela paused in her point, squeezing Aloth’s hand tightly and shooting her lover a sideways glance. “Well, both of you were, actually.”

“If the boy needs some space, then I see no sense in intruding on him.” Aloth informed, glancing dubiously between Ariela and Eder, free hand fidgeting with the fabric of his sash. “Sometimes some time alone is all one wants." 

"What one wants and what one needs aren’t always the same thing.” Ariela countered, before shrugging noncommittally. “But Aloth has a point. If he doesn’t want to talk, then trying to force him to do so might only serve to make things worse.”

“We’re gonna be back at Hasongo in less than a day, and I can’t help but feel he’s in a worse state than when we found him. I’m grateful to you for helping keep him alive, Ari, and I know I already asked a lot of you, but…”

“But you’d like me to speak to him?” Ariela queried, arching a brow. 

“You’ve always been good at talking to people. Plus you’ve got that whole mind reading thing.”

“Well, I do try not to read people’s minds when I can help it.” Her eyes fell onto the boy again; sitting silently on the floor in one corner, staring at nothing in particular, a dead look in his eye and his face gaunt from several days of not sleeping and barely eating. “…But I’m happy to try the talking part. If you’d like me to.”

“If you’re sure you don’t mind. It’d be a big help.”

Eyes pulling back to her friend, Ariela gave a supportive smile. “I don’t mind."
