Being sorry didn't help, but comforting did, a little. She gently squeezed his elbows, smiling her 'Healer smile', as Eleri called it. The 'everything's going to be okay' smile, like she could control that. She liked to think she could.

Sabel couldn't help the weak and brief belt of laughter that let him. Somehow this had turned from Light's more recent and, in his opinion, more painful problems to sympathizing with the ghosts of his past. How that had happened, how she had ended up being the one to be comforting him, he didn't know.

His smile, half-hearted with the grief he felt for the woman, turned back down to Lights at the squeeze of his elbows. "I should be the one comforting you. Not the other way around." He hesitated, not sure what he could do to comfort her. "How about I take you out for some ice cream?" Ice cream was comfort food, right?

...Hopefully it didn't sound incredibly childish or degrading.
