It's a little unnerving, despite knowing that Cole is a spirit, to have him reciting Onni's private thoughts and feelings back to him, aloud for anyone to hear. Even when he's the one who'd asked for it.

Cole says that grief needs care to heal, and Onni makes a soft 'mm' in his throat. That's not something he knows how to do. Not for himself.

The question of magic is easier, and when Cole says to do whatever feels right to him, Onni exhales and closes his eyes for a moment, finds the rhythm he's looking for, and starts to speak, his voice softer as he starts with an entreaty to Compassion, as a concept. A request for healing.
