"That's a good question." And a surprising one, though she was beginning to take these sorts of things in stride. First Roland, and now Alain. It used to be that the only one who concerned themselves with her emotional state was Kaine. Not that there was any complaining on Nariko's end. And, just like with Kaine, it occurred to her to lie or work around the question without really answering it but that seemed useless. Not only could Alain likely spot a lie (whether he would call her on it would be something else) but he was so straightforward about it that anything but the truth was just ridiculous.
"Not really. I'm terrified, a failure, and I can't do anything for Roland, for you, or even Bert. That's a level of grief and loss that no one can really help but I still want to do something. And I'm not doing a good job of keeping away from certain feelings. But, then, being left alone for a few days makes that pretty difficult."
That was a nice way to sum up 'I'd like to not be in love with my own husband but now I'm even more in love with that idiot', right? Probably. "But, like you said, we're all alive." And that counted more than anything else.
