[It's never easy to see someone frightened and in pain, but Namazuo doesn't reach out for her again. Instead, he kneels down and rests his hands on his knees, where she can see them. He keeps his eyes on her face and his tone calm, like he's speaking to a wounded animal. Or a frightened child.]
It's okay, you're safe. I'm not going to hurt you. [She has no reason to believe him, of course, but he doesn't want to risk removing his vessel from his belt--it's obvious what she'll think if she sees him reaching for a sword. So for now, he stays right where he is, trying to draw her back into the present.] Don't worry, you're alright. No one will hurt you here.
