[That actually makes Tsubasa smile, and her expression softens further. She looks a bit relieved, actually.]
Yukine... I am confident in you. Honestly, you are much better at this sort of thing than me. You had people tripping over themselves to be friends with you at Lydian. I was... nearly finished with High School at that point. The people I had following me around, besides you all? Were after effects of when I walked around like I owned it, like I was owed it. When I wanted nothing to do with anyone, when I thought I could tackle the world on my own.
It is... a fair bit different, but it is one reason why I wanted to encourage you, then. Or why I'll encourage you, now.
[She pauses, and thinks.] Although, you say you did not know how to ski before? Would it not be then partly to her credit, that you were around her and could learn from observing it and trying to prove yourself?
It may not have been her intent, but there are better things to pull from that.
