[That sure is a sharp gauntlet. Honestly, it makes Kaede a little uncomfortable, having something so sharp and jagged near her hands. She's not afraid of dying, but her hands are still something she takes special care of.
So she turns their hands over and reaches with her other, leather-clad fingers searching for the join to loosen the gauntlet so they can hold hands properly.
She hesitates as Erika continues speaking, fingers closing around the other girl's glove. Everyone else had been so upset, accusing her of not being herself. When really, she feels more like herself than she has since she was forced into that horrible killing game. It feels like she only just got Erika back, she doesn't want to lose her again.
But she's never been a good liar, either, so after a beat, she signs and resumes fiddling with Erika's gauntlet.]
I feel like... I've grown up a little, [she says finally.] I used to be so scared of death and killing, but... I'm not afraid anymore.
