[Kashuu knows that ignoring grief is a Bad Idea, which is why he'd never actively urge someone to do that unless there were no other options. He also knows that spending too much time with grief can be just as bad, and that striking a balance can be hard, so - if he can help even a little, he'd be glad to know it.

As things are, he's just happy to see a smile back on Stahn's face, even if it's not as bright as he's used to. That's only to be expected after everything he's seen. He imagines it'll take him quite a while to really get back on his feet, but he won't rush the process. He'll just try to nudge it in a generally forward-moving direction, since that's what they all have to keep doing in the end. Moving forward.]

Y'know, I don't like a lot of things about this city. [A SORE UNDERSTATEMENT.] But I'm still glad that I could meet people like you 'cause of it. It's nice to hear someone say things like that and know they really mean it.
