[ Shoko sees how Yingying leans towards her, and perhaps despite her own affinity for keeping to herself at a time like this, she... goes. Perches easily atop the armrest of Yingying's favorite couch, and just as she has many times before today - she reaches for the ends of Yingying's hair, wrapping it around her fingers with her free hand.
After all, it doesn't seem right, to leave her sitting alone on this couch, when she's speaking from her heart of an earnest wish to no longer be alone.
...To no longer be left behind. ]
You've been alone for long enough, I think. There's so much for you to experience and see, still, Yingying. So - don't turn away from the people who care about you, okay?
[ She offers it with a smile - small, but no less fond, no less warm for how cold and distant she usually keeps her features.
Shoko's been on the receiving end of it many times over her life. Sorcerers only ever have themselves. It's exhausting. But if it could be different here, for the people she's met here... then that would be better than any wish Shoko could come up with for herself, she thinks. ]
