Cecilia looked at James, something about his expression reassuring her. A tentative smile appeared on her face and she began to calm down. "I see," she started, feeling compelled to convince the two of them that she was going to be fine. "I'll be alright. I... may just need to take a long look at a wall and rethink [i]everything[/i]," she joked to that end, noticeably more composed. She looked down at the Neric, clearly in thought. "Together since birth... I can't even imagine..." Cecilia muttered to herself wistfully. She then started to lightly and delicately rub the top of her right hand, appearing to raise it inexplicably before lowering it. Actually, she was considering petting Neric as well.
