Corrin sounds like she knows what she's talking about, and Ena earnestly nods along at first. Regardless of what Ramaa thought, she was hoping that this affinity she felt for the Empress would somehow help her, or even help the others stuck here in this world. That was the plan, at least--she wanted it to be useful to at least somebody.

But when Corrin starts to caution her, something inside of her...freezes. Corrin was toeing a line Ena didn't even know she had within her; a line that marked a boundary that she wouldn't dare cross. Without thinking too hard as to what that line might be, what it might signify, or why she's shying away from it, she mentally shuts the gate, closes the shutters, and lets the caution go through one ear and out the other.

On the outside, though, it seems to have shaken Ena awake and out of her daze. "Right," is all she says in response, whether saying it to acknowledge the caution or signify her finishing in the bath unclear. She downs the last bit of sake from the bottle, not bothering to pour any into the cup. She places them neatly off to the side and starts scrambling for her towel and robe. If Corrin looks closely, she might find Ena's hands shaking slightly.

"What was that about a walk? I think it would be the perfect thing to cool us both off."
