[Oh, there will be answers to give to Owain, but right now there's tears welling up in her eyes the moment nothing horrible happens to him when he pokes her. The smile on her face doesn't read as sad, however. It looks as if a mighty burden has been limited from her shoulders.]

Nothing happened. I'm so glad, hehe...

[Withdrawing her hand, she uses the cleanest part of her sleeve to wipe her eyes, but once she's done, Elle wraps her arms around Kiri's neck in elation.]

I'm finally free! Isn't that great, Kiri?! [The realization really hits her now, and goodness, she cannot stop the tears. It's hard to hold it together when it's practically been a decade since she touched a normal person, not for treatments or for Flare. This is all kinds of amazing.] This whole kidnapping business is horrible, but-- but I don't have to worry anymore.
