tension resolving

Nadja couldn’t believe herself, swallowing her pride and trying to apologize to somebody who works for her, when she might as well have just ignored the way they felt and carry on with more orders but some odd force made her really want to make this right. Therefore, she inhaled a sharp breath she didn’t need and braced herself.“I do appreciate you,” she admitted, twisting her lips in a half-smile, half-grimace, “And I apologize for acting otherwise.”  The Guide and Nadja have things to talk through together. Also, maybe a little underlying feelings to address.
