[She can guess that the answer to "how are you feeling?" is going to be something along the lines of "goddamn awful," if he answers honestly. So she won't ask him that yet.]
...honestly, she doesn't know what to say. But one of the worst things in the world is suffering alone - so until someone else he's closer to comes along, she resolves to be here.
As she takes a seat, she makes a beckoning gesture with one of her hands; Aurum comes padding out from a ways away. (He's never all that far, after all.) The gold dog goes straight to Varian and nudges his hand with the top of his head. Give him pets, human.]
[ Varian huffs at Aurum in amusement but does pet him. It's a little different from petting raccoon fur for comfort. In that there is no fur, mainly. After a while of silence, though, Varian's confusion grows too much for him to ignore, and so he's the first to speak up. ]
[But she's not always good at that, and she really doesn't know the right words to say to him to make this better. It's possible there may not even be any.]
You seemed to like Aurum before, so I thought... it might help if I brought him along. [Aurum will stay curled up at Varian's feet for as long as he likes, tbh.]
Then I'll stay here for now. [until Varian feels a little better] ...do you want to talk about how you're feeling about everything, or would you rather not?
It's all right not to know. Sometimes it just takes... time, to process everything.
[And in Varian's case, it's definitely A Lot.]
...but there's no reason for you to suffer in silence, either. You can talk to me if you want to - or don't, if you don't want to. But please at least talk to someone.
[ talk to someone, she says. there's so much varian hasn't said about himself, to anyone. there's so much varian can't say. his lips twist as he looks at aurum again. ]

You didn't have to do that.

You're not the first to ask me that. But I, I don't know how I'm feeling.
