[Fenimore actually chuckles at the second head comment, though there's a timbre to it that suggests that she was in danger of crying. Still, Fenimore doesn't cry easily and she takes enough comfort from Rei that the worst she gets is watery eyes. Taking a deep, shuddering breath, she blinks away most of the wetness, though she remains a little shakey.]
I wish it wasn't a part of me.
[She doesn't feel strong or especially beautiful right now. But she does feel loved, and that helps, at least a little. She's still feeling quite down, but her emotions are a little more under control. She tries to immitate Rei's method of pulling up the yukata with a shrug, but, if anything, it sags a little lower on one side. She definitely doesn't have the trick of it.]
I'm sorry I ruined the moment. I wanted it, but....
[This time, the shrug is a much smaller motion, intended for expression rather than trying to move the yukata. She couldn't help it, but she does feel a bit bad even so.]
