[ Keith's attempt does the trick very easily. Cian stares at him and though she is still sniffling, her expression very quickly changes into one of mortified embarrassment. This was absolutely not a publicly correct way to behave. The concept of publicly correct acting may be a little bit fucked up, but in this case she also upset Keith so a bit more of publicly correct interfacing may truly be called for. ]

[ She forces a smile back into her lips - Keith may have told her not to do that, but Cian has no other modus operandi. ]

You said something... really, really kind here. It means a lot to me.

[ And it does no matter how much she can't bring herself to truly understand the meaning of his or Tuan's words. ]
