It was strange. Strange because Blythe had ended her connection to Yako because of her pregnancy and the fact she feared she couldn't reach the girl. She'd never denied to herself that she feared Yako would be unable to overcome the hardships of Niflheim and succumb to whatever schemes they always had planned because she had no way out. The oracle admittedly felt great guilt for this now, as not only did she find out earlier that the girl was indeed much stronger than she had given her credit for, but also because Yako relied on her.
Her expression was grave, but not upset, and she wasn't sure how to react to this. For her entire time in Asgard, she had tried to be a pillar of strength for people and had often felt that she had failed those she cared about. And then Yako shared with her words from her past - how she felt lost without those she cared about, how people had left her. The oracle wasn't sure if she knew what she was doing was right, but she leaned over carefully and pulled Yako into a comforting hug.
It sounded like Yako needed it. Maybe Blythe needed it too. She didn't quite know. Keeping an arm securely around the girl, she tried to find the right words to say. "My life...has been, I suppose, much like yours has been." She started slowly, forming thoughts as she spoke: "I lost my parents at a very young age. My brother and sister were abusive and I was abandoned when I was nine years old. I would have died, had some strangers not taken me in, but they were distant and cold. I've lost almost everyone I have ever cared for.
"What I am trying to say is...I understand your pain. I never...I never wanted to be that person to someone else, you see. No one deserves to feel as though they will be left behind or forgotten or unloved." She couldn't exactly look Yako in the face, but she did gaze in the general direction to ensure the younger woman just how earnest she was about this. "I have made my mistakes. With you. And with others. This world puts us in precarious situations and forces us to decide what is best. But I want you to know...even if I do disappear, or leave this world, for whatever reason - I have no intentions of leaving you. I promised you I wouldn't abandon you. And I meant it."
