But - Aerith. I'm sorry you've been struggling. I really am. I don't mind listening to you if that helps, but what can I do to help? Would you like me to be with you when you talk to Yunlan? I don't want you to feel like you don't have a voice to say your feelings.
You don't get to decide if I am bothered or not. You don't get to make that choice of me or of Yunlan. You deserve to be heard by someone. Me. Yunlan. Someone.
[Sheehan stands as well, but he doesn't move to stop her.]
Hey, wait a second. You’re not a bother at all, and you’re definitely not being dramatic.
[He puts a hand on his chest.] I care about you, and I want to hear what’s on your mind. It’s okay to feel this way, and it’s okay to need someone to talk to. But...I get it. If you’re up for it, I’d love to keep listening. But if you need a break, that’s okay too. Just know I’m here for you, no matter what
I care about you too Sheehan. Very much. I know you have a lot on your plate.
[She offers him a big smile, gesturing to the table.]
And it's okay. There's nothing to talk about. So there's no need for a break or anything. Consider it all forgotten.
Please enjoy the tea. I'm sure it'll be wonderful. And- could you say hi to Saga for me? I'll have to try to drop by again, especially after her tolling.

[She's not going to defend Thrawn, even if she understands his mind on the matter. She's been placing silence spells every morning.
Plus she cried at him the first morning, so he knows he messed up.]
I'm sorry Sheehan. I didn't mean to- make this personal.
It's...fine. I mean, it's not fine but- you're already busy. So is Yunlan. He doesn't need to hear this.
I shouldn't have bothered you with this. I'm really sorry.

The idea of- all of that for my ego- I'm not comfortable with it.
I'm okay, Sheehan. I'm being dramatic.

And as much as he hates it, he inclines his head and sits down to let her go.
