[Belle was clearly insistent on the matter as to how she felt about the prospect of having lost her ability to read - perhaps it would be for the best if she first calmed down first. The person the girl was describing seemed like a close friend of hers; so the fact that he'd fret was to be expected.]

I think you should not push him away if he does, Belle-san... But perhaps it would be a good idea to clear your head first.

[Ai looked around them, nodding towards a path down the village and then glancing back at the girl.]

You can take a walk by the river, or visit the hot spring to soothe yourself. You might want to pick something from the clothes shop so you will not have to move in this white sundress, too.

[At least that would be one of the methods Ai would use to calm herself down - along with swimming in the lakes if she were even able to at this time.]
