Niklas was the first to notice Liv's sudden embarrassment and attempt to hide in plain sight. He took off his fedora, holding it to his chest like a cowboy would with his hat, and immediately apologized.

"I'm sorry, Liviana. I don't know what I said- wait, no."

He approached her, carefully due to Fareeha's dagger-like warning stare, and kneeled beside her. 

Summoning what he knew of her, and her backstory- of which he had extensive knowledge on most everyone- he gently laid a hand on her shoulder, as he- equally gently- laid his fedora on Fareeha's head (who glared with some amount of humor and bemusement). 

"You are intelligent, Princess Liviana. Do not fear the unknown, do not fear what you might accomplish- or be unable to. Give it your all, and be proud of it. Princess Fareeha, here, would agree."

Fareeha nodded solemnly, before tossing the fedora across the library like a frisbee. Kneeling next to Liviana with Niklas (whom she pushed to the side), she added, "Princess Liviana, do you think I have not messed up before? Do you not think Mai has messed up? We have all had our mistakes, and we can still be however strong, graceful, goofy, or otherwise. I once punched my commanding officer- and in the military, that is a grave, grave offense. I stood by what I did, and will continue to do so. I may have been wrong, but in that, I will apologize- but I am also entitled to my thoughts, and my thoughts was that he needed a good punching."

She smiled, warm at the memory. 

"If you ever need to take your anger, or your sorrows out on anyway, just punch Niklas. He will not mind, I guarantee you."

"And how do you know that, Fareeha?"

"Because I'll punch you if you refuse to let her do it."

That ended the query.
