There is no hiding how Yelena's words have touched them, how without even saying how they feel, that the woman understands Rue completely. Staying with their friends would never been a burden, but freedom has always been what the owlbear has been after. They spent a millennia under their former court's thumb, and then immediately after came here to be trapped within ADI's terrible walls.
All they want now is true freedom they've been denied their whole life. One where they can be themself without hiding.
"Thank you, dear. I can not tell you how much it means to hear that. But please, for now, I only wish you and the others to be safe and happy outside of these walls." And with a gentle squeeze to Yelena's hand before they finally pull away. "And to keep in touch, just to soothe my fears."
