"Marginally." He still couldn't bring himself to integrate well with people. It wasn't comfortable. He would rather deal with sleeping outside than with a landlord. He found reasons to turn down invitations.
It was all further evidenced in that he was struggling for things to say right now. He was with the person he was honestly more comfortable wtih than anyone else, and he couldn't even think of something to say to her. Scar's shoulders deflated.
Did she say that because she just wanted him to hear it? Or because she actually thought so?
"A marginal improvement is still an improvement," Lust pointed out, her tone conversational and logical. Scar's progression was slow, but it was there. It wasn't as though he were entirely incapable of growth and healing.
"I know it's difficult to see from the inside. I have the same trouble. But you aren't entirely stagnant, and that alone is something to take comfort in. With more time, you'll see more improvement, and eventually it will become easier."
She fiddled with her napkin, twisting it between her fingers idly.
"And you can talk to me, if you ever feel the need to talk about these things."
Scar's eyes softened, even though he was only staring down at his nearly finished breakfast. He knew he could speak to her on anything. She had told him that in all of her little ways.
