Enki had been worried about Aqua and Rren since the day Rren had exploded and Aqua had changed the approach to training. But Aqua shrugged off any concern and Rren was actively avoiding him. So he didn't push for either.
But with that already in the back of his head, when he saw the note and basket he doubled back the way he'd come and cautiously reached through his shields to try and get an idea where Aqua was without getting emotions. And the answer? Back at the school building and... up.
It took him a bit to work out how to get up there, but when he made it, well, there was no missing the state she was in. Anything he might have said initially fled and he sat down beside her. What he didn't know is he was doing the same exact thing he did when an animal was distressed or even when a person was seriously hurt and he was trying to treat them. He was radiating warmth. Not pushing emotions exactly, but just an air of comfort, that someone was there.
He cleared his throat then, speaking gently, much like he would have in those exact same situations. "Aqua... um... you don't need to talk if you don't want to but... I'm here. Whatever you need."
