She wasn't sure how'd she would take her encouraging words about Atticus, even if they were meant for support, they could trigger tears Amelie didn't really want to see. And as for Kisu, she was worried Blue might tell her to stay away from him (as if she would've wanted to chase after him) and to learn the real meaning of love.
