The breathing technique was something that she used when it came to the young kids she dealt with. Sometimes things could be a bit too much for them and the breathing techniques helped. So, she hoped that it helped with her brother.
"I know."
Taking a deep breath of her own and letting it out, she takes one of her bare hands reaching up and touching her brother's cheek. Skin against skin. Something that she didn't particularly care to do with anyone. It was like a truck slamming into her, but she tries to ignore that.
"I'm really here."
Touching him had been a hard thing for her to do, but it had given her a glimpse into his mind too. The uncertainty that was coming off of him in ways. Not being sure if she was real or not. The fact that Vallo was even there.
On top of that their shared past seems to slam into her with a force that causes her to sway on her feet a bit.
