[ ruby expected this. much like the night before, they can sit in silence, while gently comforting each other.

she gives jiuqing's hand a light squeeze.

as she has learned, sometimes the most is said, in silence. and this is ruby saying: "i am here, for you, always." ]

[ruby is such a good girl.

jiuqing doesn't say much of anything for a long, long while. they sit there in silence for probably at least an hour before she finally does speak, and when she does, her voice is very quiet.]

...thank you.

[petalbursts]

[ ah...

ruby gives a nod, squeezing jiuqing's hand lightly. her voice not as quiet, but definitely soft. ]

You're welcome...

[she breathes out a sigh.]

...will you be alright, tomorrow?

[petalbursts]

[ hm...she'd been ignoring that, in favor of worrying about jiuqing. so when that is asked, she frowns. ]

...I don't know.



[ backtags our sad threads.... ]

[ah.

ruby is so strong. if she's admitting that she doesn't know if she'll be alright, then... jiuqing squeezes her hand.]

...would you like me to stand with you?

[i feel bad having her suggest it when handholding was your idea but here we are]
