[She doesn't want to lie, she can't lie because back home at least there was her brother. Of course he would never understand what things are like for her, what it's like to be hunted and looked down all the more because she was only half-alive while he was lucky enough to be born a pureblood, but he had almost always been there. And even if he weren't there...
There was Aleos. The boy who may or may not be tied to her because of their current situations, and the lingering doubts in her mind of what person in their right mind would engage him to a girl who not only was part-Human, but who was cursed and endlessly flawed, beyond reprieve? As much as she wants to meet him... Why was someone she never met having this effect on her when Mithos was right here?
It made her angry.
This time she takes both his hands into her own, squeezing them tightly both to try to reassure him and in anger at her own doubt, which she now tried to push down into the back of her memory. They were only trying to tie her to Aleos because they thought she would finally behave then, right? That was what she'd heard them say...]

I won't leave you, Mithos.
