[ That... is more than she expects to draw out of him after she'd asked. But she asked! So she lets him work through all those feelings with actual words without interruption, only responding when it sounds like he needs to take a second to breathe. ]
A lot of secrets and emotions were brought to light. That is never easy; I never like being kept in the dark, only to discover that I was affected by someone's actions, or that loved ones had been hurt for... reasons that initially did not make sense to me. I want them to make sense to me, so we may avoid things from coming to this again.
[ She hates that so much of this could have been avoided if people were a little more honest with each other, if they all made efforts to understand what was going on. Would it have made a difference if Lucien trusted her and Kurt with his intentions? If Hawke and Amelia had told Jon and Chris how the whole debacle felt to them, maybe fighting and accosting Lucien in an alley would not have been necessary?
If their plan with the portal had involved just a few more people, would they have been able to contain its effects? Would she have been spared, that night? In the darkness, sometimes she thinks she still hears those voices. All those whispers telling her to just do as she pleased, for her own satisfaction, consequences be damned.
It's all hard to say now. All they could do was move forward, wisely instead of foolishly, with a little more self-awareness than before. ]
But - what is it that you do when you are out of patience, Chris? [ She only has a vague recollection of his abilities, but... ] Would you like to go out for a flight?
