Mithiel. [She murmurs, the name pausing in her mouth like a fresh bout of water after a long day of none. Mithiel. Mithiel. They won't be in each other's acquiantanceship for long but that's no excuse not to remember this person's name. Their tongue does a fair show of not butchering the strange tones and flow: Mithiel.] I'm sure you've heard this before, but it's pretty.

I'm sorry that you lost your home. [There is an unusual impulse that overtakes her but luckily she catches before her hand makes it too far upward. The tendrils of hair shadowing Mithiel's face beckons Kendis' attention and she feels almost compelled to tuck the loose pieces behind the other person's ears. Because something about them begs to have their face held -- Kendis dislodges the thought with a shake of her head and instead returns her focus to the other person's no-longer-bleeding hands. She cradles one in her grip, inspecting it until that she's satisified before looking over the other. When she is finished, she gives Mithiel's left hand a warm yet quick squeeze.] And I am even more sorry that my feeling sorry for you can't bring it back for you. [ She huffs, then murmurs more to herself: ] I hate useless apologies. [ Or maybe, more, she hates apologies that can't be supported by action -- because she feels that Mithian needs sympathy, though they may reject. And that, in of itsef, gives the words some depth.]

I think you're wrong though.
