Elle wonders if this means if she's still tied to a magus who is still back home, or if there's something else at play here, something to do with the cost that Grainne paid for her survival.

"It's alright," Elle says gently and, because she can't help herself, she slows her pace so reaches out a hand to Grainne, meaning for her to take it. After seeing Grainne in her strength earlier, stepping forward to protect her and Jade without hesitation... She just wants to make Grainne feel better, if only a little bit.

Which means that Elle is going to instinctively reach for contact. If Grainne takes her hand, then Elle will give hers a small squeeze. "I'm sorry for prying."
