[It's a true show of how close they are, of how their relationship has evolved that Lup is patient enough to wait while Elsa sorts through her immediate feelings. The elf's always been the kind to never pause, to never waste a single second of her time, no matter who that means leaving behind. But if there's one thing that Ryslig is beginning to force her to understand, it's to slow down a little, to acknowledge that not everyone is as quick to make decisions or find the right words as she is.

And Elsa is exactly one of those people who she knows needs more time to mull over her thoughts. So Lup settles near her and waits as patiently as she can, the end of her tail coiling this way and that beneath her, the only evidence of how much control she's using to wait.]

'Course, hun, s'what friends are for, right? You need a hand an' chagirl is right here to help.

[Personal feelings sure sends off a red flag for Lup - that is so not her area of expertise - but the naga grins either way.] If you want a pal to hear you out, I'm free. Run your shit by me if you want.
