[With Gladion's sigh bringing Rindo's attention back to him, he can practically watch his words knocking Gladion's foundations askew. And so, he worries. Was that the right thing to do? There had to be a reason these defenses were in place, right?]

Well… I just wanna be helpful. Sounds like I know enough to recognize her and avoid her, and that's the goal, right? The rest is just… me being curious, I guess.

[Because, ultimately, Gladion's said a lot without offering much of anything concrete. At the same time, specific questions feel… nosy, and with how sensitive a topic this is for him, Rindo doesn't want to ruin what they've got by putting his foot in his mouth. So, maybe his first order of business should actually be… checking in?]

[What he said seems to have had a… positive effect, possibly? He still intends to ask for more details, but he doubts he can actually do much to fix the issue. At best he can just… not make it worse. Emotional support's on the table, though, hopefully.]
