it's brief so he won't get much - just five seconds of flustered feelings, confused little heart squeezes, and a lot of defensiveness and embarrassment. unfortunately it looks like she was genuinely taken aback by this.]
H-How was I supposed to know...
[by not being socially maladjusted]
Being allies doesn't mean that you actually... [like her in any way.]
.... if you want to be.... friends... that's fine...
Yeah? Shit that that'll happen, because people suck.
[ ... ]
But it's not like that's everyone. If you weren't someone I'd consider a friend, I wouldn't call you it. End of. [ same way Akira's just his Friend, Lili kinda falls into that category. It's fine. It works. ]
[ . . . . people do suck, and she's tried to be more open over time here, for the people who want to call her a friend. they haven't betrayed her thus far. it's been okay.
she doesn't think ash will betray her either. she trusts him.]
.... alright. Then - we're.... friends.
[one day she won't stumble over the word.
her execution is clumsy - but her feelings are sincere. once someone's her friend, she'll do anything for them.]
.... I'll try not to give you reason to worry over me, or doubt me.

Well, I'll try to protect myself as best as I can.
[said in the tone of someone who is
used to being attacked for a number of reasons!]
I'll be as careful as I can... I just don't want to be scared either.
no subject
Yeah, do, or you'll get hauled out of wherever the dead are to get yelled at, probably.
[ hmm. ]
If you kill someone, we'll do what we can to catch you. And then we'll do what we can to make what comes after quick, alright?
no subject
actually seems to agree with that rather easily, taking a sip of her tea as if she's almost pleased about it.]
Mm.
That's all I ask. Though I obviously would rather not be in a situation where I kill someone at all.
[but if she is! she'd rather be very clear on where she stands.]

[ if kara doesn’t get to her first in a midtrial or execution, ash’ll figure something out ]
no subject

Well now I'm wondering if we are or not.
no subject
Wait - you were that certain?! I don't -

Ask?
[ then again he didn't either. ]
If you get along with someone, you're probably friends. Whether you want to admit it or not.
no subject
.... it's hard for me to believe that it's that simple.
[ . . . ]
I've had my trust broken by people who called themselves my friends before, even if I got along with them before that happened.
[pours one out for axel and akane]
So I don't... want to use that word lightly. [a beat] I hope you don't... mean it lightly.
[because she doesn't.]

no subject
That's pretty good, isn't it?
[was she terrified? yes. is she going to admit that? no. is she like, still fucking proud that she survived against two hungry sharks? yes!!!!]
no subject
[ still. impressive. ]
I mean you're stood here now telling me this, so. Yeah. Pretty good indeed.
no subject
... I think I told you they had me relive my death, so... it was that.
But I won this time.
