It looks to Aqua like it's more than just being a little tired. It's the kind of tired that can run a person into the ground, wearing on their energy and soul as much as their body. Something happened and Aqua would be a terrible friend if she didn't try to help. So she settles into a nearby chair, moving it close enough that they can still talk.

"You don't have other people to help you?" she asks curiously. She doesn't go to the forge much, but she remembers there were a couple of other people there the one day she did wander in.
