B-but what,
why

[She makes a sound and it's hard to tell if it's a hiccup or something of a harsh laugh.]
I wasn't told anything, I had to figure things out on my own.

Even worse then.
[He runs his fingers under her eyes to try to dry them.]
'Tis ironic, is it not? That you love so fiercely but can not see the same returned to you.

It's...it's not that I don't know people care, but...I haven't done much of anything to earn it.
[She closes her eyes and winces.]
I know that that's not how it works, but I can't--

It's fine. I always, always welcome and enjoy your company.
[she smiles. it seems real enough]
You're right about my energy, so bouncing back will be no problem.

I selfishly want you to win as well. Not only for the points, but to see the proud look on your face after.

Good. Now even if you do not win, I will be proud of you the same.
Now, let this old man get his feeble amount of kisses in and leave the rest to your vitality.

Every little bit helps, but leave it to me.
[She kisses his cheek]
...And thank you.

Enjoy yourself, Lily.
