Um..I was trying to get some water from the fridge..

immediately pulls Tinra into a warm embrace Shh, my love, there's no need to cry. I'm here for you, always. Let's just breathe together, okay?
sobbing I'm sorry, mama... I didn't mean to make you worry.
wipes away Tinra's tears gently It's okay, my sweet child. You don't have to apologize. We all have our moments. Just remember that I'm here to support you, no matter what. Now, let's make that tea, shall we?
