[A knot forms in her stomach as Miach steps in front of her. It isn't a reaction that makes sense; Tuan has nothing to hide from her. If anything, it seems that Miach is the one who's been hiding things from her - the most basic of things like her general well being for starters. Though she knows why, the sting of bitterness hasn't left yet.
Miach's unspoken directive to act as though this is just another ordinary conversation like the ones they used to have is unbearable. Tuan glances down and to the side. It's only after she does it that the weakness of the gesture registers. Self loathing ensues as that's too late to fix. It may as well be the story of her life at this point.]

I've gotten used to it.
