She's pretty for a human, but so young. Her soft pleas for him not to be upset, for him to not ruin this chance for her, to not bring the punishment down on her are startling. He doesn't know what to think as she just pleads with him, her voice getting softer as apologies spill out between the pleas. It kills him to watch her cry and he reaches out, brushes a hand over her hair and shoulder, trying to calm her. She starts at first but looks up at Lithuania with wide eyes.
"No one's been that kind to me for a long time."
His heart breaks a little a the innocent way she says it, like that's normal, like she's used to harsher touches and stronger words. She's a little broken he can tell. He remembers similar treatment and he gently lifts her from the ground and takes her to a smaller room.
It's quiet as he tends her scraped knees, hardly noticing the curves of her legs under the stockings, but he does notice her wide almost adoring eyes as he looks up. She's very pretty, so delicate as she sits on the edge of the couch, hands folded in her lap. A delicate little princess who needs saving--No. She's a human and you can't save them. But you can mend them, and he carefully pulls the glass free and wraps her legs. She shivers under his touch and starts to blush and he finishes in a hurry.
"Thank you sir." She's bowing and before he can even say a word, she reaches down to adjust her stockings. He turns away as soon as she leans down. You don't watch a lady doing such things, it's not polite after all. She makes a little noise over the holes in the stockings but he still doesn't look.
"...Really, Thank you." She whispers, brushing her hair back and staring at the ground.
"It's nothing, really. I just hope you're ok miss."
"Koharu--I mean, my name is Izaki Koharu! B-But you can call me Koharu."
She bows and rushes from the room before he has a chance to tell her his and he makes a note to tell her later, when she brings them tea again. Not because he cares of course, not because a human knowing his name really means anything...just because it's polite.

That's the only reason.
