Glimmer does exactly what Margaery expects, her own movements slowly coming to an end as their practice session seems to become more of a discussion than anything else. Her dagger hand drops to the side, the practice weapon hanging from her fingers.

"You're right. I know you're right," Glimmer says with a weak smile and she hurriedly tucks her practice weapon into her belt so one hand can come up to scrub at her eyes when the sudden sting of frustrated tears begins. Sometimes she wishes she didn't cry so easily--what if people think she's weak?

"And I'm glad I'm still here. Ellie told me that it was what I had to do. I just keep dwelling on it. I need to stop." Her hand squeezes Margaery's tight.

"I knew I was getting into this with Forces but I've never been the kind of person who likes to just sit back, right? I want to be out there directly.
