Namine listens to him speak as he touches her arm, the affectionate gesture making her heart ache pleasantly within her chest. She shifts herself just a bit closer to him, finally uncrossing her arms from behind her back to rest at her sides. Ienzo's busy schedule isn't anything unfamiliar to Namine by now. He's an important person in the restoration of Radiant Garden, as well as maintaining everything that they have built up. Perhaps it's a little selfish of her, thinking of taking up his precious free time that could undoubtedly be spent relaxing or resting.

"I...was going to ask if you wanted to go watch the stars." She admits, shaking her head softly. "But you have so much to do during the day and evening. You should spend it resting. I'm sorry." There it is. Even though she's come far since arriving at Radiant Garden, the old habits of apologizing for wanting anything is deeply ingrained into her. It slips out every now and then, despite Ienzo gently reminding her that she doesn't have anything to be sorry for.

She glances up at him and offers a small, sheepish smile. Namine realizes just how awkward and clumsy she is, but he stays with her, anyway. Never once has he made her feel badly about it. About anything, honestly. Perhaps that's the reason why, of all people, she doesn't want to bother him or be the cause of him being stretched too thin. "Maybe we could bake tomorrow?" She asks carefully, unsure of if that would be better than meeting him at night?

Months later, and being a person is still terribly difficult for her.
