OH BOY HERE WE GO. So straight up, Foster is fucking weird. Reira's used to people being emotional, but Foster is...well for starters he's not NOT emotional but he's definitely....not nearly the same 'kind' of emotional, what with that whole anhedonia deal. At the same time though, the sheer awkward imbalance of emotions is what allowed Reira to actually stay near him when they first met. If Foster was able to linger on things too much-able to really hold onto the sorts of outbursts that come if someone worries about him or similar, she'd be gone. Instead though, everything comes in flashes.
And that means she can pass through it like a ghost, seek out what feels more 'positive' (a very loose word of course), and what works. The result is they can talk rather easily-and it's refreshing, for her at least, to be able to talk in a way that she feels requires little explanation. As far as she can tell, Foster...mostly understands what she's getting at, which doesn't really happen a lot if ever.
That said, that fractured, non-positive mess also means she's a bit worried about Foster. She doesn't understand, much like in her conversation with 'goth Steven', why someone would just...not ask to be able to be happy, not ask for the solutions to certain problems. She won't talk about it or press if it starts to push too many self-hate buttons or even hate buttons, but it's definitely a very odd thing for her to try and understand.
As it is, once she has that bird back she's probably going to be even more worried, since-go figure-as much as she knows Foster doesn't really....seem to CARE about things, the fact that he's now acting for something is a Worrying Point Indeed. It means he could get hurt and well...
She knows it's safe to worry as long as she doesn't tell him she's worried, you know. It's easy to hide that.
She does, on another note, feel that her promise to him is rather silly. If she can tell he feels things, and if he's doing all THIS, in particular, she's pretty sure people are going to realize he 'feels things'. Making her promise not to tell anyone that just seems ridiculous!
