Cecilia smiled gently, glad to see there were no negative after-effects. She hadn't thought of how James must have felt during that time, but it made sense that perhaps worry over her and Neric wasn't the only thing that was eating away at him. She then remembered something else. "Um, Neric? You were with Helena earlier, right? How is she doing?" she inquired, fretful.

She pointed to one of the red cabins, trying to direct their attention to the support "legs" at the base. "I'm sorry Spirit. I haven't really played this game and thought I was being clever." Cecilia would listen to Spirit apologize about what she said, gathering that she meant when she told them about her past, much to Cecilia's relief oddly enough. "It's okay. We... just weren't [i]ready[/i] to hear it. But I'm glad you felt comfortable enough to share..." Cecilia said amiably, lowering to her knees as well before continuing. "But I'm afraid I will end up treating you differently..." she started rather serious before giving way to a large smile. "Because whenever I see you, I'll see someone who's not going to let what happened to them ruin their life... okay?" she concluded, ready to stand up along with her when she was ready to keep walking.
