[...He really doesn't know what else to say, does he?
Blanche isn't exactly great at this. Dealing with her own feelings tends to be an exercise in locking them tightly away in her mind like a fine aged wine even on a good day. And on bad days like these, it leaks through and tints her demeanor. This isn't something she knows how to deal with herself; how can she possibly help her friend?
It isn't going to stop Blanche, but...her usual approach won't work for this, she's sure. She doesn't want to upset him.]
Excellent work. Taking care of even one encampment will do wonders for giving this village some peace of mind tonight. And those miscreants deserved everything that they got.
[...So she's not judging the murder, basically, it's bandits after all??? Their deaths will keep the townspeople safe. It's Totally Fine.]
...Today has been rather disorienting, however. You are not alone in such a feeling, you know.
[Maybe they can start there? Blanche is trying to gently needle a bit (...which she should be doing with his uniform too, now that she thinks of it--) but this is...new territory that she's unfortunately woefully inexperienced in.]
