"It's not your permission I'm worried about." It was Terezi's wellbeing; Naminé was reluctant to burden the other girl with her own feelings, no matter how much that was expressed to be an appropriate part of their relationship. But there was no help for it and even Naminé knew there was no arguing the point, and aside from that - it really was nice to be sure she was allowed the luxury.

Sniffing, Naminé let out a sigh before pulling back just enough to straighten up and look at her moirail with damp, reddened eyes. "Of course you can," the blonde affirmed, reaching up to brush the dampness from her companion's cheek with a gentle hand. "Even when I'm not here. If I can't go with you, then... I'll just have to tell you that it's alright to cry when you need to, until we see each other again."
