Ryja clings close to him, to comfort them both. Listening quietly, intently. A serious question given a serious answer, which deserves genuine attention. Held close and cared for. She doesn't truly know what this is like. She suspects she might have troubles, or that it might be difficulty, for her, but...

"I do not know if I could, either. My body ... usually has nothing. It made my life in the village as difficult as my inability to speak." The thing is that Ryja rarely talks about this. Ever. After all, most of her sexual partners haven't been very likely to ask. And this, and what ever she will end up with with Amy, is the closest romantic relationship she's ever had.
