It should be only briefly, but I too will miss our time together.
[ But the look she gives Alex is a grateful one. ]
... Thank you. Ange should be fine, but Rufus tends to just let people assume things about him, I think. And he's trying just as hard as the rest of us to get everyone back safely.
I had to make a contract with him to get him talking to me properly, when we first got here.
[ she laughs a little, but it's very small and soft. ]
He and Wolf remind me of each other. Not too talkative, not one for casual conversation, but looking out for people anyway. There are plenty of people out there in the world like that, if you know how to look past them shutting you down.
I also had to enter an agreement with him! But it's true, they both do come across like that, once you persist a little more and you listen a lot more.
There's a lot he doesn't say, but that's really only one form of communication anyway.
[ Except when he then goes and says things like he did at the trial what the hell. ]

He could’ve tried being a bit selfish for once, but that was never going to happen.
... at this point we all know enough about what’s going on to know this isn’t easy for anyone.
no subject
[ Please say they have. ]
no subject
[ she nods ]
I think so. [ she hopes so ] And then we just need to get everyone out safely, when the chance comes.
[ and the monster but y’know. baby steps. ]
no subject
[ And hopefully they can all go home. ]
no subject
[ going home sounds... good right about now. maybe. ]
Hopefully you both won't be gone too long. People will miss you, if you are.
no subject
[ She doesn't want to think about leaving Ange alone for too long or Rufus falling back into lone wolf habits yet again-- ]
no subject
[ she looks thoughtful for a moment. it's actually only fair she says this, given she's asking favours of dorothy as it is: ]
I'm... not you, but I'll try and keep an eye on Rufus as well. And Ange, but I think she's very well covered at this point. [ they love ange ]

Yeah. Sometimes words don't do enough anyway. [ yeah, time to break you out to go kiss your demon boyfriend, dorothy. c'mon. ]
no subject
That's true. I think we all know times where actions have been better.
no subject
It's just about figuring out what people put more weight on. Words, or actions.
no subject
I think I may be a bit of both, personally. But actions do tend to go a long way.
no subject
Yeah. You can say you'll do something, and talk things over, but actually doing things ... that has a lot of weight to it.
no subject
I agree.
I do believe it's time to see some action from everyone, instead of platitudes at this point.
no subject
This many people have died, so... we can't trip here and waste everything everyone's gone through. [ not again, apparently. ]
no subject
[ Yeah, let's not do this ever again. ]
no subject
No pressure then.
no subject
... Take care of yourself as well, Alex. I won't be around to help babysit.
no subject
... You too, though. Remember, I'm expecting to see you back as soon as you can.
