Only after they say that, does Zafika realise that, the latter part of their attempts at reassuring her might not sound that reassuring. "You haven't screwed up, but I'll go sit down for a bit, with some more distance from the game just in case so you don't have to worry, okay?"

They tilt their head a bit when the girl, Matilda introduces herself. Ah, so they had been right, she was a knight too. "Zafika, the snake knight. It's nice to meet you, Matilda." Her bubbly giggle is, admittedly pretty cute, she seems so excited about being a knight.
