[Willow fully expected him to not approve of Ford's help in the matter, which is entirely why she glossed over it like it was just a minor detail. A few notes from him, that's all, no big deal. It's fine.
She's quiet for a moment as Ozpin processes the details they've managed to uncover. It's a lot, she knows, and she's entirely sympathetic when he says he didn't think he had been doing a bad job.]
I'm a little suspicious it runs a little deeper here than it did at for you at home. You're really good at keeping things together, even under the worst of circumstances. No wonder why, with... you know... everything.
[She gestures vaguely. He's been through a lot, in Trench, in Deerington, and on Remnant, there's no doubt about that at all. She smiles a little.]
Ozpin, you're probably one of the most together people I know, which is why I got so worried when you weren't yourself. I think here, it just goes deeper than being able to repress those feelings and put them aside, and instead it means you have to deal with them and let them go.
[Normally, she feels disinclined to push him too hard, but this is too important to just let go of.]
I don't think there's anyone in this house who hasn't leaned on you for help or support at one point or another. I know I have, more than once. As hard as it is, maybe it's time you let us be there for you too sometimes. You know. Like family.
