That's what happens when you die. Nothing to be done about it.
[ Fiora can't remember that person. Fiora can't even remember her brother's name anymore. She knows there are things she needs to stay alive for, but she's not sure what they are - only that she must survive. And if Rufus gets to the point of peddling her soul, then she's already failed those people and those things, even if she can't remember them.
Not that she's thinking much about that. She's more concerned with Rufus's behavior. ]
... You could apologize. At least say you didn't mean it like that.
That's the scariest part, right? For me, anyway. When it happens... I'll be alone, and I'll be leaving behind everyone I know. But if you were there to pick me up, then I'd know that someone would be with me even at the end.
[ ... after a moment, she wrinkles her nose. ]
Although it's less comforting now that I know you'd just sell me first chance you got.
[ fiora is fairly certain that's not the rest of that incomplete thought, even if it sounds nice to hear. (she's still not so sure she believes he's not doing this for the cash.) ]
If you don't say it clearly, I won't know what you're trying to tell me.

He studies her, and it's quiet for several beats when the wolf's ears flatten completely against her head.]
. . . I apologize.

Well... good. I accept your apology. I'm not sure I forgive you, but there's that.
[ even to her friends, Fiora's tough when she gets her feelings hurt. ]
... I do like the idea. At least I wouldn't be all alone.

Rest assured. Should you allow me, I will definitely be there to pick you up once it's time.

But... no, not exactly.
