[Namur sighs, but doesn't reply. He's not one to give up, but sometimes the more you push, the less things happen. It's probably better if she focuses on other shit for awhile.

And at least she doesn't have to be entirely alone. He can sit there beside her, doing his best to love her in a different way. Of course it's not enough- but he knows his wide open love would never be enough for her, promise or no. Still, he's there. If she wants to talk she can talk. If she needs a gift or a drink or to be told she's beautiful, he can oblige. It's not enough, but it's better than nothing.]
