[ She's quiet for a moment. There's a lot to think and reflect on--and she wants to make sure that when she speaks again, it comes out right. There are things that she needs to say that he might not know yet that could change things, after all. ]
I might have been more apprehensive to accept at one point. ... You know I'm not from Teyvat. Before he disappeared, Aether wanted to continue our journey. So my original plan was to reunite with Aether and leave Teyvat so we could keep looking for a place to call home. Knowing that would be the outcome, and that you've already lost so many people you care deeply for--I wouldn't want to be another painful memory you have to carry for hundreds and thousands of years.
[ Even if she didn't know that kind of loss contributes to erosion, she still wouldn't want to do that to him. It wouldn't be right. And it would make leaving that much more painful for her, too. She takes hold of his other hand and squeezes both of his hands in both of hers very gently. ]
But things have become more complicated. The further I get, the less sure I am of how things are going to end. Maybe... it's not impossible that I might stay, but I just don't know yet. The more I've gotten to know you, the more I've come to like you. Being with you makes me happy. Nothing I've remembered changes that. So as long as you don't regret involving yourself with a wayfaring alien like me, then I have nothing to regret either.
[ There's a lot more sappy shit in her head but she's not usually so talkative and she already feels pretty vulnerable right now. Also, she doesn't want to make promises she can't keep. So she just waits to hear what he has to say. ]
