[She squeezes them tighter, and presses her face against their shoulder.]
When those shadow things were running around, one of the things I saw was you, hurt. Dying. I knew it wasn't real and I was still so afraid. The thought of you gone - hurts.
[Yeah, okay, they're gonna have to wrestle out of that hug for a moment - But it's purely so they can turn toward her fully, wrapping their arms around her in turn.
They've learned firsthand how comforting being enveloped in a hug can be, so it's only fair to give such a hug to their friends when they need it, right?]
Remember that death is not permanent, here in Ellipsa. I have no plans to leave this realm, so long as I can help it - Not for the next few thousand years, at the very least.
Even if I were slain in this realm, you will always be able to find me. I promise.
It takes a bit of finagling - using Seasonal magic to change up their own anatomy isn't easy, nor will it ever get easier - but after a moment... They go ahead and follow that hug with a kiss to her hair.]
The thought is very sweet, Evangeline. It will never be preventable... but I understand how you feel. If I could keep you safe from every harm this realm may toss your way, I would do so without question.

I know. ...But even if it's temporary, I don't want you to be hurt or go through any pain.
[Maybe that's silly, considering what they've already experienced. But she can't help it.]
