[ it's been a little hard to face the team these days, so she can't fault the mask. but it's nice to see rabbit's cute face while they're talking. ]
Aww, that's so sweet.
[ she laughs lightly, if only to keep the mood up. ]
But I don't mind if they do. I'm just grateful that you don't. [ she doesn't need everyone's approval—can't disappoint people she barely knows. but people nearer and dearer to her heart... she's grateful for their acceptance. ]
[ she knows there are things she could have been better about, and that people outside of her team might not have thought she was reliable, but... as long as her team thought she helped, that's really enough. ]
[ she nods. all this time, she's been wary about their chances and the other leaders—if she didn't have rabbit, who thought better of everyone, where would she be? following the wrong trails and indulging the wrong thoughts.
maybe she's a little more timid than the traditional leader, but here, she's the perfect one for hilda.
also, she's a cute girl? automatically superior. ]
...Yeah, we will be.
[ she props her cheek in her palm. ]
Someone showed me the last report. I know this is supposed to be our last chance, and I'm nervous, but... I think we've done the best we can.
I think that everyone worked very hard with what they were given. And... as soon as people realized what the stakes were, and how they could save others, they mostly went into action.
[ mostly, since some people still kind of fought over it even if it meant people might stay dead. ]
I want a nice, long bath and a massage before I sleep for a week, only waking up past noon so I can eat fresh pastries and fruit and tea that someone else brews for me. I want my own bed with fresh linens and to not sleep on the ground or have to cover myself in dirt to pretend I haven't been up all night hiding things in bushes and lockers and dinosaurs.

Let's go to the kitchen first.
no subject
Lead the way!
no subject
... how are you?
no subject
Mm... could be better. Could be a lot worse.
I'm glad Jeanne is alive, and that Clem is okay... not looking forward to this week though.
no subject
[ she is going to go to where the fridge is.
but it was really nice having a completely intact team and then realizing that means you are now the most obvious target. ]
no subject
[ it'd be selfish to keep all their members alive, but hilda is selfish. she's accepted reality, but not with her whole heart. ]
We made it so long and we're doing so well! Maybe I got too comfortable...
no subject
I know... it would have been a little too selfish for me to request that I wanted you all to live though...
no subject
You can be selfish around me, I won't tell.
[ she smiles a little. ]
I never thanked you for everything you said—at the meeting and stuff.
[ when they'd all been talking about cater. rabbit has always been... kind about it, even when not everyone was. ]
no subject
I don't want anyone to think poorly of you.
no subject
Aww, that's so sweet.
[ she laughs lightly, if only to keep the mood up. ]
But I don't mind if they do. I'm just grateful that you don't. [ she doesn't need everyone's approval—can't disappoint people she barely knows. but people nearer and dearer to her heart... she's grateful for their acceptance. ]

[ you cannot get rabbit to openly admit to having favorites on her team, but sometimes you have favorites on your team. ]
no subject
[ she'd get a hug if she were closer; for now, she gets a grin. ]
...Whatever happens this week, don't forget that you're the best leader, Bunny.
[ sometimes you are biased and have each other's backs since week one. ]
no subject
... thank you.
[ she knows there are things she could have been better about, and that people outside of her team might not have thought she was reliable, but... as long as her team thought she helped, that's really enough. ]
We'll be okay.

no subject
Mm. I think so too.
[ after all this, they have to be okay. ]
Or I hope so, at least, because I could really use a vacation.

What would you like to do?
no subject
I want a nice, long bath and a massage before I sleep for a week, only waking up past noon so I can eat fresh pastries and fruit and tea that someone else brews for me. I want my own bed with fresh linens and to not sleep on the ground or have to cover myself in dirt to pretend I haven't been up all night hiding things in bushes and lockers and dinosaurs.
[ she has given this some thought. ]
What about you?
no subject
rabbit nods her head, thinking. ]
I'm not sure. I think I'll like to take a nice walk somewhere. Maybe go shopping.
