[ I'm so glad that's what you went with— but anyway!
Estelle tries to force a smile but finds her muscles aren't quite agreeing with her. Under her eyes, she looks very tired. ]
I'm... I'm fine. [ Even though it takes her a moment to say it, she means it. ] Are you okay, Senri? [ the silliness inherent in her usual cheer is definitely gone at the moment ]
[ She, uh. She doesn't actually know how to make tea.
Is he offering his hand to hold, though? Is he confusing their hug the other day for something more? Estelle hesitates for a second, not quite sure what his intention is, or how to respond to it in a courteous manner. ]

Oh, sorry! I didn't mean to be too forward....

[ Well, they hugged during the trial, and everyone made it weird, but...
