As far as she's concerned, all she's doing is offering her family a shoulder to lean on when they need it, but when Noel averts his gaze from her, she can't help but crack a little smile. She gets it – it's difficult to admit these things; Lightning has enough trouble doing it herself, but she's glad that Noel is starting to open up to her, even just a bit more.]
Noel. You know that you can come to me for anything.
[Or if he ever needs an opinion that isn't coated in sugar.]
