Asterion doesn't say no, but he shakes his head and it still makes her sad. She can't fathom being separated by her bonded and can already feel the anxiety from him through her magic. Corr is glad that he agrees to tea so that they can hopefully both shake off this feeling.
"Ah, yes, well that's because my tea is the best you've ever had, so you don't need to have any other kind," she says with a laugh at the end. The woman takes pride in her tea making for sure, but it's because she puts so much care into all the steps, including growing the herbs herself.
When he briefly touches her cheek, Corr smiles and envelopes herself in the feeling of friendship. "It's good to see you too." While her solitude is nice and is necessary for her meditations, it does get lonely at times. It's so nice to have a familiar face here and have a chance to exchange stories.
"Hmm, I don't know where to start. You've been gone quite a while you know…" she starts as they leave through the woods. Corr will go on to tell him the series of events the best she can, leaving out the more grim parts for the more positive stories. He's been through enough after all and could use a little more happiness.
