[ She does follow without protest, looking more and more confused with every step. By the time they're in Dearka's room... Well. She's starting to put two and two together here. ]
He said you two are secretly dating, something he is privy to but not allowed to share with anyone. The precise word he used was 'mate', of course.
[ There, she can do this matter of fact too. ]

There was a moment back in Brasov where I tried to explain to him... Just how important Yzak is to me.
[Because he is really important. All implications of romance aside, Yzak has touched Dearka's life on a truly profound level, in a way that few others ever have.]
...He's my partner. I said as much. But, Godzilla being Godzilla... Of course he misunderstood me. And then there was no amount of correcting or explaining I could do that would get through to him! He just kept being like, [he shifts to doing a... not ENTIRELY terrible Godzilla impression?] "yes, that is also how I feel about my mate"...
