"Oh, sh—right." Okay, no, head in the game, Anna. Come on, you've got this. She strengthens her grip on the sword and doesn't say anything for a moment so she can instead focus on the moves and getting her form down.
But that doesn't last as long as she'd like. It doesn't take more than a few minutes before she's back trying to probe for information about this other version of herself. "It probably means she trusts you," she says. "I've always been the kind of person who keeps it all inside her until she finds someone who can actually put up with it. So either she trusts you a lot, or you do a real good job pretending to give a damn."
She dings her blade against his and gives him a friendly, confident look. "Pretty sure it's the first one. So you definitely matter to her. She'd probably move the world to keep you safe."
