[ It was not fun!

Roxana's vibes are calm, composed. She smiles in greeting, and there is a cup of tea in front of her. How topical. ]

If you want something calming, go with something with chamomile or lemon balm.

[ ... it's not quite hesitance, but a boyish sort of unknowing in his voice, as he ducks his head. ]

...y'think Vin'd like either of those?

[ he's so, so worried about his baby sister :( ]

[ This would be cute if the times weren't so trying and bleak. ]

Chamomile is made from flowers. And... even if she might not like to drink it, I think she'd like to look at a blooming tea.

[ She gets up to go the counter and orders something like this. ]

[ times are so trying, and so very bleak. terrible. ]

... Thanks, Rox. [ it's a very genuine thank you, quiet, and he'll shift to wait for it, glancing over at her. ] Rubes told me she was really happy to stay with you and Doc, Thursday night. Thanks for keeping an eye out for her.

She's a sweet girl. I wasn't expecting her company since I expect Jiuqing to be in the medical bay from Thursday on, but it was nice.

[ There's a certain innocence that Ruby has that Roxana doesn't usually interact with since her family is full of people who are the opposite of her. ]

[daggering]

She is.

[ a very, very good kid. there's that warm feeling of affection there, briefly, familiar and soft. ]

... We've got some good fucking people, in this shitty place. [ too good for this shitty place, maybe, implied. ]

[disingenuous]

[ There's a wave of agreement before it ebbs. ]

Too good for this place, and they shouldn't have to endure it.

[ But shoulds are shoulds for a reason and not the reality. ]

If they can keep as they are despite everything here, I'll consider that a win.

[daggering]

...yeah. Think I will too.

[ the agreement is somber, here - for a moment, his tiredness is betrayed a little more obviously, shoulders slumping under the weight. it's been a long day. ]

Tomorrow's gonna be rough.
