[Veyle looks a strange mixture of happy and apprehensive to see him -- happy, because he showed up at all, but apprehensive, because she's still convinced he's going to find this whole encounter, and her, annoying.]
H-hello Rafal... Thank you for coming. Um...
[Maybe she should skip the niceties and keep this as brief as possible before he does get annoyed. She offers him generous-sized bag of brightly coloured candy.]
Here. I got these for you. The shopkeeper said they're called 'konpeito'.
I know you like sweets, so I thought you might like to try something new.
[That's the more obvious answer. But if she were to give an honest one, too...]
I also... didn't want there to be bad feelings between us. Nel told me how you both saw your other siblings as enemies. But, I don't want to fight or argue with you, not ever.
[She does relax a bit to hear that. She's still trying to understand him, and it seems like she has a ways to go.]
I don't want to hurt you or make you feel sad, either. So I thought... maybe if we met like this, I could do something nice for you, and you can think of good things when you think of me.

Thank you. What made you get these for me?

There are no bad feelings. I was not angry at you, at least not directly.
[ another pause as he struggles. ]
But I do not mind being argued with or told off. I think that is . . . normal.

Veyle. It is not so simple.

I do not think badly of you, but our history is complicated. Surely Nel has said as much.
