Korei was overcome, so much so that words eluded her. That was okay. Lily let her cry it out, continuing to make gentle sounds under her breath, eyes calm and gentle. She would open up if she wanted to. Lily had learned the hard way with Alarian: you can't push someone under pressure. Too much of a shove and they'll break--and likely hate you for it.
She did not want to end up on the same footing with Korei with which she now found herself with the Governor (or, at least, where she thought she stood with Ali).
"It's okay, darling, it's okay," Lily assured her in hushed tones. "I'm going to sit here until you're all better, all right? It's all right, Korei--I'm here." She took the girl in her embrace, the sobs shaking her body as well. Despite the turmoil, she felt somewhat at peace here, under the stars with a friend. She much preferred this open show of emotion to the masks some chose to wear.
