[I'm right here. Those words are supposed to be comforting, and it does help a bit of the tension ease out of Elsa's shoulders... but it also hurts a little. Not because of Lup, god no, but it thinks of all the times she's had to push people away because of how she was feeling, how that made her dangerous... and she knows she has to stop doing that.
