"Huh? Oh..." Kaede wipes at her eyes again, having to use her shoulder to keep from getting snot on her leather gloves. Leather gloves aren't the ideal for playing violin in most cases, but she's gotten used to needing to wear them to protect her hands while fighting that it's almost become second-nature. "I don't want to bother you..."

Still, she'll move to rest her violin back in its case on a nearby table, strapping it in carefully before taking the offered seat with a small smile.

"I mean, everybody probably has people they miss, right? No point crying about it!" Her smile wavers, and though she takes the offered handkerchief gratefully, it ends up balled in her fists instead of being used. "Right?"
