...are the three of you able to confide in each other? Something like this - if you are not able to get your frustrations with it off your chest, it must be... painful.
[Her face falls, though - because the fact that she has people like that means they're stuck here, too, instead of safe at home where they ought to be. It feels a little twisted to be happy that she isn't alone.]
But - if ever you wish to speak to someone other than the two of them... I would be glad to listen. Sometimes another perspective can help.
[it's not a yes or a no, and she's very aware of that, but she smiles anyway. she'll just have to be persistent in her attempts to get them to open up, then.]
I assure you, I have no intention of allowing that to happen.
If we do not have it already blended... I believe it uses black tea as a base, and I have tasted apples, rose hips, and cinnamon in it. I am sure there are other ingredients I am not as familiar with, but we can probably get close to the taste.
B does most of the cooking, so maybe there's some in the back of the pantry and I just haven't noticed. I'm more of a... microwave it and go sort of wizard, so...

[foot in mouth syndrome is a thing, unfortunately. winter toes the dirt with one of their heels, quiet for a moment.]
You have a really big heart, Flayn. Don't let anyone change that, okay?
[that is not a yes or no to her offer, but it's apparently something they felt needed to be said.]
