[it makes enough sense to her - funnily enough this is kind of how shenhe feels about vash, though obviously there's differences.]
I think that sometimes people are just like that. [she says, after a moment.] Maybe because she never let anybody in was why she felt she had to do what she did.
You and Gerard have told me a lot about stories. I've read a lot of a story where people made decisions, and then were reset, and made entirely different decisions based on who they were with. [she tilts her head back. almost absently:] The story's outcome depends on the characters.
... I think that you already are all those things that you described about Ruby, you know. I think you are correct, that you can be those things if you try, because the start is already there.
[well, maybe not pretty. it's a big ask for a 12 year old going through an unfortunate werewolf puberty to be pretty. but the rest, she's very happy to hear.]
...Thanks, Shenhe.
[is she fucking talking about homestuck. i hate it here. ylfa would skip to the trolls so she wouldn't understand the plot of homestuck anyway.]
I think Ruby maybe didn't let me in because she'd already decided she'd probably have to sacrifice us, so it didn't matter. But I don't think thinking of other people that way is actually so easy. [at least part of her hopes that some part of ruby cared about them, even if she always made sure to keep a distance.] Still...I'm not going to risk all of us just to try to change her mind.
