[Once permission was given, he nodded and began to set the kettle to boil water and prepared two cups and strainers. Knowing it would take a moment, he opted to sit next to Rose with his tail hesitantly coming around her.]
You needn't apologize. Will you be alright? [Aka, he knows you've been crying ma'am.]
