I'm sorry... [Dist sighed, not really knowing what else to say. Uggh, how do I deal with crying children? And sick, crying children to boot! Dist opens up part of his coat and wraps Nephry up gently in it, still holding her.]

I didn't mean to upset you, Nephry. I promise you, I'm not mad. I was just concerned... [He hugs her tight, moving away to wipe her face gently, putting on a soft smile.] Come now, don't cry. I'll take you to the library myself, all right? Then we can go home and I'll make you something hot to drink for those sniffles. Just please, don't cry...
