[Isn't that what he just said?

He reaches up to tuck a lock of hair behind her ear.]

I'm sorry.

[She's quiet for a long moment, and she has to close her eyes to get through this next bit:]

My best friend used to knock me unconscious and leave me on a rooftop if she thought I wasn't gonna be able to handle the fight in front of us.

[She knows Cass was just trying to protect her, that she didn't exactly have social skills, but it still hurt.]

Please don't do it again.

[Everyone else undermines her; she can't stand it if Saul does it, too.]

[Wow, look at how not surprised he is by that. He manages to keep a sad sigh at bay, but there's no hiding the look on his face.]

I won't, neshomeleh.

[That'll help, right?]

[She doesn't even need to look at him to guess at his expression right now.

And it does help, both the reassurance and the familiar term of endearment; with a quiet sigh, she moves in for another hug.]

Thank you.

okay so i got back from a mission and heard there were zombies?? are you okay :(

a little tired and bruised, but i'm okay, thanks. i think most people are fine.

do you need me to get you anything from the clinic

[Oh no that's really sweet]

thanks, but i'm good. unless you can find me a hot bath :)

how was your mission?

i bet if we got really creative we could find a makeshift tub...

oh they were fine! i think i got back from one in the middle of the chaos because they sent me out on another one before i could figure out what was really going on. haha i was kind of annoyed but now i get their reasoning

it might be considered a waste of water anyway

yeah they sent people off on missions if they'd agree to go. i'm glad you were safe while everything was going down

you'd use the same amount of water taking a shower

i'm glad i was too although i wish more people were :( but at the same time i'm glad there were people around to protect everyone

even a five minute shower?

a lot of us are just kind of stubborn like that, so long as the base needing defending they probably couldn't drag us off

well when you think about it there's not much space in tubs after you fit yourself in there for the water soooo maybe!

yeah :) the people here are brave

the last tub i went in was really big, maybe i'm overestimating how much water we'd need

or stupid and reckless, but i guess brave sounds nicer

a really big tub sounds good too though... man

if it was unnecessary maybe it would've been stupid or reckless but having zombies here forever doesn't seem good

it was pretty amazing

doesn't mean people weren't reckless and stupid about

[Guess who's mad at Saul for getting bit?

This girl.]

did something happen?

sort of. everyone's fine it was just someone i care about being really stupid and nearly getting hurt

who was it

i'm not sure i should say anything

i dunno if it's my place

[as angry as she is]

[It's a bit frustrating, but - it's something she can respect, too.]

okay i think that's fair

sorry

i only found out by accident anyway

no don't apologize, it's good you're being trustworthy

i guess i'm good for something, huh?

[It's supposed to be a joke. but. well.

Steph stop internalising your anger.]

hey by the way i've been practicing with aerial silk in the vr room if you ever wanna come by and give it a try

you're good for lots of things

oh oh cool! i'd like that, it's probably like 95% harder to be clumsy and hurt myself if it's virtual right?
