[ Opening her eyes, she lifts up the limb to show him, as if to say "See? Good as new."
And then she sets her newly reformed hand upon the two that hold hers feeling.... humbled, in a way. It's a been a long day, and she'd like to believe that they came to some sort of newly reforged, unspoken promise together. It will be, and I love you... they really are finding a lot of things to repeat to each other. Words that both of them should hear.
She doesn't feel at all uncomfortable when he says them, really. But it does get her to pause as... something feels different to her when he says it this time. He's the first to say them to her, and he's the first one to transfer his energy to her instead of her giving it to someone else. He's also the first one to see so... much of her, really. The way she can use power, the way she can rebuild herself, the way that this pretty much confirms that she is not at all human, more like a being made solely of energy itself than anything natural. And still he says it, he says I love you. ]
...I love you as well. [ Her reply is but a whisper as she looks down upon their linked hands, her thumb brushing over his knuckles. It's remarkable, how she is made in a human's image... but she is grateful to have hands-- both of them-- so that she may be able to hold his. Grateful that she can even feel her cheeks warm and turn a soft pink in response, as embarrassing as it is. To feel a way a human might. Appearing as a solitary crystal or as a star to him wouldn't give her that opportunity at all.
She smiles at him, lightly adding: ] Now I'm able to hug you properly.
