[Diarmuid appears at her side, crouching down so that he can be on the same level as she is. He's just barely keeping himself from hugging her at the moment and would already be doing so if he hadn't been worried about startling her and upsetting her more. Seeing her so upset is actually a little frightening since he is so used to her being able to see the best in everything, and, as a result, remaining happy even in the darkest of times.
There is nothing happy about her expression now. His eyes dart to the shadow children around her and he can't help but wonder how much they have to do with this. Perhaps he would know more, but for the moment it seems he has no followers of his own so he really has no idea how they may or may not be affecting those they follow.]
Shall we sing one of Rabbit's songs like I promised we would? Will that make you feel better?
