Now is the point where she feels like she can probably reach out to put a hand on his shoulder, so she does. She keeps her voice low, but still earnest. And most importantly, not bearing any traces of her anger from earlier.
"I know you just wanna make sure everybody's okay. And... I should've focused on that instead of getting offended right away."
She doesn't necessarily feel she wasn't justified in being offended, but... well. It's a house full of hotheads and Heather's always been able to breathe fire with the best of them, for better or for worse. Usually for worse, let's be real.
"To tell you the truth, the part where you were talking about Envy being dangerous wasn't what set me off. I know he can be unpredictable and I know you know-- you've seen parts of him that I haven't. I get that. And I get why you'd be scared for me. You know things, and it's normal to act on that."
She pauses for a breath there, taking it in slowly before letting it out in a long exhale.
"... The thing is... how much do you now about me, Al?"
The question isn't accusatory or upset-sounding-- it's just a question. And if he does look over at her, he'll find her watching him expectantly, waiting for an answer.
