When she asked the question, she knew he wasn't ok. But she asked it anyhow, allowing him this moment to express what was troubling his mind. He begins and she listens, taking in each word and noting how his body shifts uneasily. She does not agree with what he says about himself, but she nods -nevertheless- in understanding that he is troubled by these things.
After he has said all he had to say, a warm expression comes to her delicate face. "You are not a burden Jack. You are anything but," her voice is soft and kind. "You gave up your life for us Jack," she moves to look him in the eye, "Not just anyone would do that." She reaches her muzzle out to nudge him at his shoulder as he shifts, "Strength comes from within. As long as you stay true to yourself there is nothing you must fear."
Her head turns to look to the twins still curled up under the tree, "They look quite alright to me." Again, she looks to him with kind eyes as he straightens up, "Hey I got an idea. Why don't you take Eviction to go do something tomorrow. Just the two of you! He could use some time away from his sister I think." Her expression is bright and inviting as she nudges him again.
Not all that glitters is gold
