Eden hums for a moment before a stifled sound was heard. What could've been a snerk-ish sound matched the amused turn of Eden's lips, which she covered for a moment. Totally just dabbing something off from her lips with the edge of her sleeve.

Figuring the sound was still obvious though, she didn't hold up the poor bluff for long. "Sorry. I wasn't expecting such 'wisdom' from a teacher. My grandmother did say that hearts were the hardest thing to heal. So I guess with that and what you said, she might've meant it more than literally."

What a roundabout way of going 'who hurt you.'

"I'll just have to hope my youth protects me from long-term affects of something so horrible."
