[England isn't always the most emotionally perceptive person, but he's attuned to Zelda enough that he senses the distress blooming in her, certainly helped by the way the muscles of her hand tense in his grip. He's already frantically searching his mind for anything he can do to comfort her even before she speaks.

He doesn't find anything in time, but then, he's not exactly practised in reassuring people who have witnessed such a unique atrocity as the one committed by Ruana. Regardless, he confirms what she is asking.] You did.

[She did, and though it turned out to be a much more gruesome event than anyone could have anticipated, England is sure he's not the only one who feels vindicated that it happened. England's shoulders slump slightly as he reaches out with one hand to set to order some stray strands of hair at Zelda's forehead, keeping the other curled protectively around the bend of Zelda's fingers.] It was incredibly brave of you. [And then, as he searches her face for signs that she's registering what he's saying, he adds in quiet admission:] I'm very proud.
