Rista paused with her cup halfway do her lips. She hadn't realized that he had had it that how hard up.
"Is there someone that can help you in the meantime, how awful it would be to risk going hungry. The thought made her very glad to be in Matori, where the ocean and its bounty was immediate. Even the poor could eat so long as they could fish.

"I lost my family last year, we have friends, but I don't feel right just asking, they have their own problems."
He sighed. He hadn't meant to blurt all that out. But this girl was just so easy to talk to. He found it hard to talk at all. Sometimes, the wind and memories, having taken his voice quite away.
"Sorry about that. It's a lot to just lay that on someone." He looked down.

"No, it's quite all right. Don't apologize. Please. I'm so sorry for your loss. "
She too bowed her head a little for those that were lost, this poor boy had been through literally hell, and was here, out of necessity and here she was trying to make a little pocket money.
She patted his shoulder awkwardly.
"You are very strong. But know that you need not hide your pain in front of me."

He was doing his best not to break down, a restatement of his young age. She was the first he had told they'd never came back from visiting family in Oba.
"There had been a fire. As I have not heard from them. I presume they're gone forever." He sniffed a little.

"Sometimes even doing the minimum is an act of great strength. I was adopted after I was orphaned." One never forgot those beings that brought you into the world, no matter how old one got.
"Don't worry,"she grasped both his hands and hers. "You will never forget them."
She had a feeling they were going to need another tea. This did not sound like a one cup of tea discussion.
