Weakness makes a person vulnerable. Opens them up to attack. Deflection, redirection, subject change - Skellig recognizes it all easily, understands what it is she is doing (at least he thinks he understands - he knows there is a lot about this child that is still unknown to him, her powers being one of the big things) to control her emotions.
"Some of them are unimportant," he says, leaning forward to reach for the table. He pushes aside slightly the pile of medical supplies, focuses on the other things. "Bar sent me with some things you might find useful." He grabs hold of a small pouch with a cord on it, hands it over to her. "Maybe for us to hold your crystal, to keep it safe?"
He will have to get her a chest, for her things, as they start to add to them - he makes a mental note to ask Bar about that the next time he gets a chance.

There is a comb," he glances at her hair. "To untangle your hair, though both you and I don't need much help with that at the moment. A toothbrush...paste...you use that after you eat, to clean your teeth off." There are other various things, but he doesn't go through all of them. It is clearly overwhelming.
"...and those," he points at the table. "Are snacks, to eat later." Some things she...might recognize? There are what looks like ration bars, as well as some other things that can be used between meals or as a treat.
