"Ryo--you don't have to try to comfort me when you're still upset."
Not that what he said didn't make her think. It reminds her of things Zetta had said (And she almost forgets to feel guilty, to feel righteous) but--more nuanced. More actionable. Zetta has two settings, angry and not angry and there is no between, but this--this feels like something more manageable to think through. Worth acting on or not.
"I appreciate the advice, really, but you--I probably shouldn't have gone on about my problems when you're feeling upset and worried." She nudges him with her shoulder, "I know my temper is something to work on, but it's...not something you should be having to worry about when you're already worrying about your own things. But thank you."
She pauses, "Um, maybe don't tell Thantaos or Zagreus about me committing murder? I think they still have this image of me and I don't know if their Persephone struggles the same way and it's...complicated. So, maybe between us?"
