Re: witness okay

[unbr8kable]

Oh...wow. That's a lot coming at you outta nowhere...

...Was somebody with you for getting that back, at least...?

Re: witness okay

[sangreine]

There are people looking out for me.

It's not out of nowhere. I just got caught up. I'll -- find a way to get myself together. I just need to stop... [ letting herself get lost like that ][ forgetting what she really is ]

[ spending time with people who inspire things like irrational jealousy ]

Re: witness okay

[unbr8kable]

Hey--

[Hesitates, then offers her hand]

...Like you said, you got people looking out for you. We'll help you figure this out. Okay?

Re: witness okay

[sangreine]

[ She reaches out to take that offered hand, telling herself it's reflex, it would be cruel to refuse, a million little reasons to excuse her cowardice. ]

[ She squeezes Nemesis's hand, then gently slides hers away. ] I need to go. I don't want you to think you did anything wrong... [ But even if Nemesis thinks that, Aliza still needs to go, because she desperately wants to stay, and she doesn't get to want things that much. ]

[unbr8kable]

[Nemesis's brows ridge, and while she doesn't grab after Alizarin's hand, she leaves her own open--still on offer]

...If you need some alone time, I of all people get that. But, uh. If later, you feel like maybe doing something...or doing nothing...lemme know.

Re: witness okay

[sangreine]

I definitely do want to see you, to do something or nothing or whatever you like.

-- But it might take me a little while to get myself straightened out. [ She's such a coward. ]

Re: witness okay

[unbr8kable]

No hurry and no pressure, even if I could throw stones. You gotta do what you gotta do.

[She smiles back, crooked and a little shy]

Just...wanted you to know that you don't gotta be alone, when you don't wanna be. That's all.

Re: witness okay

[sangreine]

[ Goodness that smile ][ why is her mind so prone to being ridiculous that she has to run away now of all times ]

I know. Thanks.

Feel better, okay?

Re: witness okay

[unbr8kable]

You too.

[A breath]

And, uh. Thanks for sharing that stuff with me. You didn't have to.

Re: witness okay

[sangreine]

[ god she's so cute, why are brains so broken and stupid ]

[ putting on a bright smile, which is mostly not fake but definitely part of it is ]

I'll try to do it with less irrational madness next time. [ "Next time"? There cannot be a next time. She needs to get her head together, bad. ]

[ So, gathering her violin and katana and getting out of there before she says anything else she'll have to take back. ]

Re: witness okay

[unbr8kable]

[Nemesis's return grin is still crooked, but seems genuine--maybe a little brighter than before]

Next time we can both give it a shot.

[She waves as Alizarin heads off, watching until she's out of sight]
