Tsubaki was thinking along the same lines, but in a drastically different direction. Would Sora accept help or was he going to think it was just pity or unnecessary fretting? He already seemed to think he’d been a burden on them last night when she and Rapunzel had discovered he was sick…

She thought about what she should say and settled for: “I’ll keep you company at night if you’re not spending your time with other people.” If he was planning on going out alone or doing something dangerous, there was always demanding he let her come along, but she didn’t want to put her foot down unless she had to. There was a fine line between being supportive and being bossy.

When the boy mentioned getting out of the cold, she followed his glance. She hadn’t even asked if Sora had somewhere to be right away; he probably had a busy day ahead of him.

“Oh, yes, sorry if I held you up. Do you… want me to come with you?”
