There's definitely some worry on her end when she sees him stumble again. Thankfully - for Robby, that is - Chizuru assumes that it's not because of a flash of a not fully formed memory as much as she thinks it's because his body is still unused to what Robby is trying to do with it in this moment. So though there's worry, it's only a momentary one from the movement of his body itself, rather than her being worried about something in the long term.
Especially since he does finally seem to manage to get upright with that last attempt. The slight smile on his face is definitely enough to soothe the worry in the girl's heart, and she smiles back up at him, letting out a breath of relief that he's alright.
"I think so," she says, that smile lingering. "It's okay. We all need a while to get used to it at first."
It's not even that Robby looks like he needs the reassurance, but Chizuru can't help it. She just works like this at all times. Got to reassure everyone around her.
And if he's truly becoming more human, regaining his own identity after emerging from the sea, then she figures he's got a bit more room up there to finally store things too, other than all these strange new water-less sensations.
"My name is Chizuru." There, that's a name he can try to commit to memory, at least. Maybe it'll help to start bringing back his own name as well, or other names. "And I'm so glad you made it here alright, without getting hurt.. The sea has been so rough for the past few months."
So everyone who seems to mostly make it through okay feels like a blessing. Her heart aches thinking about the squids who may never make it, no matter how much they try to save everyone.
