It seemed Hayato understood her actions, he would've told her he understood, but there was more behind it. There was a reason he was acting this way, and he was going to tell her. Ayame listened carefully as she gave him her full attention, he would've told her he recently lost a close friend on the armada. He had the choice to stay back and fight, but he let him down and now he was gone. Those mistakes were tearing him up, and that was why he wanted to know what happened to her. Ayame pursed her lips together, it certainly made sense on why he was acting like this.

She watched as Hayato picked up his arm to cover his eyes as he wept. Ayame moved to hug his head close, "You shouldn't blame yourself for that...you did what you had to do." she'd say, petting his head gently as she tried to calm him down. This was the first time she's seen Hayato anything but his normal self. She couldn't exactly sympathize, but she would still comfort him to the best of her abilities...which weren't much.

She learned the hug and pet trick from her father when he consoled Shien a lot, so she was taking the experience from that. She didn't think he was being too soft, he was hurting. Ayame soon let go of Hayato if he didn't respond and would move his arm so she could wipe his tears away with her thumbs.

"You've had a rough few weeks, how about we relax a little." she'd say, worry on her face, a sight that was rarely seen. Ayame was still currently straddling his lap but if he agreed, she'd get up and dust herself off before holding out her hand to help Hayato up. "Do you...want some icecream...?" she'd ask, trying to think of comfort foods they could share.
