[ She appreciated it... really, she did. The fact that Miku always made sure means a lot to Hibiki, more than she lets on. She nods, smiling softly. ]
Mmhm...
[ She breathes in, nods, and holds her arm out for her. A high-tech prosthetic arm, not exactly a perfect replacement for what she lost, but it's better than most get to have. Hibiki felt like it was too much for her. SONG felt that it was the least they could do. That being said, Hibiki being Hibiki means that there is a bit of wear showing on it as a result of various Hibiki-typical habits... such as climbing (and subsequently falling out of) trees in order to save cats or some other helpful activity.
And that's not even accounting for her work as a Wielder. Seriously, what would she do without Miku to take care of her? It makes her feel bad, especially since...
Well, she's not as clueless as she once was. Not as blind to Miku's fears and hidden tears. She hates that she was blind to that kind of thing in the first place, but she's making up for it... or at least, she hopes that she is. She wants to address it... properly, not just assuring her that ultimately she's fine... and yes, she genuinely does think that she's fine. Not unscathed, but still...
She just... can never find the right words. The Curse of Balal briefly comes up in Hibiki's mind whenever she finds herself at a loss for the right words to express herself, but there's no point in thoughts like that. ]
