she looks - not pissed, but very annoyed. there's a lot of Emotion crackling off of her, it's almost like you can see the red sparks that she definitely does not have and cannot remember having.
stupidly enough, she comes up right to him and just hugs him. he's probably not going to know what to do with her but she needs a second. ]
no yeah there is a shitload of emotions happening but they are apparently not directed at him? maybe? so? he'll hug her back and just hold her until she's ready? ]
The longest. [ she says, clinging a bit. ] Long week.
I don't know how to - I don't know how to feel about any of this. [ ... ] I really want whatever memory that gave me the ability to chill for a fucking second back, now.
... I don't know what memory that was. [ again, helpful. but he'll keep holding as long as she needs? so. ] None of this was ever going to leave anyone feeling good.
[ she nods, because - that's good. that's a relief, after all of the shit they've been through. she still feels... jittery? full of a lot of conflicting emotions at once. ]
So she'll come back. [ ... ] Do we, um. Do we know what we're up against yet?
[ she just sinks against him, actually. maybe if she does that he'll carry her again? the best. ]
[ absolutely not. anyway she leans into his hand, closing her eyes. ]
That's what every big dumb hero says before they go in to do a risky mission, and then they show up dead at the end! [ she brings a hand up to rest on top of his. ]
Oh, please, you're an antihero. You spend the whole story being reluctant to save anybody and then at the end it's revealed you had a heart the whole time. I know your type.

I don't like being - I don't. [ hm. use your words. ] This sucks. It was supposed to work. It was supposed to make up for Archer.

I know. [ she swallows it down. like before - everything feels dire for like, ten seconds, and then she puts it away. ]
