*excited, unintelligible noises*

It takes her a moment to really let the words settle in, to really focus on what is being said to her. It’s not the first time she’s dealt with someone who tips the scale in that grey area. The area of good and bad, areas that everyone says she should leave untouched. Words are hard to think of, to speak, to so much as breathe. This is exactly what everyone says when they say she’s too soft, too kind, too gentle. Moments like this make things that much harder for her. Make it hard to focus on anything else. “Ironic, isn’t it?” There’s a gentle pause, swallowing of the lump that suddenly forms in the back of her throat. “You’re worried about dimming what light I have within me, when it’s quite the opposite. Haven’t you realized it by now?” Hasn’t it been made apparent? In the way she smiles brighter? In the way her eyes light up as if she’s seeing him in a renewed light? The way she worries over him and hardly of herself. Though, that’s nothing new. She’s always been that way. She doesn’t realize that her hands are shaking, wrings them together nervously, perhaps a bit anxious in this moment. “You don’t believe yourself to be worthy of love, of someone caring about you, of light. But, that’s where you are completely wrong.” It’s hard to keep her emotions in check, though her own voice wavers slightly. “I wouldn’t be standing here right now if I believed for a measly second that I didn’t know what I was talking about. You have this-- this whole thought process that who you are toes that invisible line of good and bad. That you’ll never be good enough.” There’s a moment of silence, yet it’s so deafening all the same. She takes a few hesitant steps forward, towards where he stands with his back towards her. Yet, she steels her own nerves and shifts around. Moves to invade his space as she stands directly in front of him. “Understand me when I say that you are worth every single thing in this galaxy. In every single galaxy.” She licks over her lips in trepidation. “I know you’re afraid to let anyone in, to allow yourself to really and truly trust someone and to allow them to care for you. But, you don’t really have a say in the matter when it comes to me. So, please... Don’t shut me out.”
