[Just his moving closer was enough to make her blush. Hearing his words made her feel terribly guilty. Whenever anyone had spoken to her about Nephrite after he'd left, she'd been the strong one. She'd said he might come back, she'd said that somehow things would be okay. So why had she doubted him as all? She must have, right? To be so surprised that he did come back? Or maybe she was just surprised that he came back to her?]

I'm so glad. [She smiled up as him, looking as if she might cry] You left so suddenly.. [Naru found herself playfully swatting him as she cast her eyes to the floor, in part to hide the emotions that must have been written on her face.] You should have told me what you were gong to do. [There was a note of anger in her voice but she wasn't really angry with him, just worried]

Mother: Naru are you really going to cast your own mother aside for some strange man? Is he the one you stole that prized gem for. Naru, he's ... he's not someone you should be with at all.
