She starts, then stops. The girl nervously swallows, seeming somehow even more skittish than she usually does.
At least she doesn't pull her hands away too quickly when Cecelia lets go. It seems that choosing to hold them was the hard part, and it got a little easier once the touch was already happening - and now it's over, she pulls her own hands back to herself very slowly.
"I suppose so." It's a very quiet answer.
Mostly because there's so much else she wants to say. So many worries she wants to confess to, but it doesn't feel right. Cecelia must have been through so much too, especially since it doesn't seem like her at all to isolate herself, to pull herself away from a community she wants to help.
Olympia can't unload that on her.
"Has it ever.. been like this before?" There, that feels like a safer question. Nothing that really has anything to do with the many things that make Olympia feel so awkward right now. "I-I mean.. This place, looking this way..?"
