[Not that Jane is a difficult person to be friends with, but even she has her limits. If Izō had struck her as someone not worth her attention or effort she would not have continued to try and be his friend.]

[She reaches out for one of his knees and rubs it gently, giving him a reassuring smile.]

Just try.
