[ To be fair, Pyrrha doesn't know than Ren is now of height with her! Hopefully soon, she'll see his growth spurt for herself.
Regardless, as Nora feels better, they both do. A bit worn out from her crying jag, she swipes at the drying skin under her eyes without opening them, clearing off any last bits of streaky tear residue from her face. There's a faint sniffle, but it's a remnant of what was, and bitten off by a somewhat embarrassed chortle. ]
Thank you, Nora. -- I'm really glad you're here with us.
[ She's sure she said it before, but there's no harm in repeating it. ]
[Nora winks. It's true. She pats Pyrrha's shoulder while keeping her arm where it is. And Nora bets that Pyrrha would be glad to see Ren too, if he ever arrived - and possibly notice how he's grown inside and out.
But Nora is not going to stop at being a literal crying shoulder for her friend. Oh, she has so much more in mind.]
How 'bout...I get you a handkerchief, a cold drink, and maybe a day out in the town?
[ She definitely needs to wipe her stupid face and re-hydrate. As for a day on the town, well - she hardly feels fit for human interaction or even showing her face in public right now.
Admitting it would involve saying no to Nora, which Pyrrha is utterly unwilling to do right now. ]
Alright.
[ Letting out a breath, she finally makes an effort to disentangle from Nora's embrace. ]
That sounds wonderful. [ Beat. ] How about we find a bakery and taste-test everything?
[Nora stands up and walks over to her dresser to look for a handkerchief...or at least, a small towel. But she does find a pale pink handkerchief, which she hands over to Pyrrha.]
Well, a bakery should have cold drinks, so...sounds like a plan. [Anything that involves both food and friends is always a good plan, to Nora.]
Besides, I haven't been to all the bakeries here yet!
