[Elsa manages a smile, but it rings somewhat hollow. She's glad that he's not clamming up, not hiding away like she used to at his age. She's glad that he feels that he can rely on her with things like this, and it just strengthens her desire to protect him. To help him.
Before wandering the halls after the trial, Elsa had stopped off at her dorm, grabbing her mother's shawl. It had been around her shoulders, but when she sits down on the piano bench next to Varian, she pulls it off to shake it out a little, so she can drape it around both of them.]
This... has always helped me put myself back together, when my head feels too full to think or feel anything other than fear or anxiety. I hope it can do the same thing for you, too.
[As she speaks, she's tapping a few of the notes in a basic scale. It's been a while since she'd played piano, so give her a moment to get used to it again.]
