[ good morning. mordalion has an armful of flowers - she might recognise them as the same kind as the ones in the relaxation area. huh weird. it's only a few, though.
rosie gets a nod in greeting, and a slightly softened look than his usual piercing gaze. ]
There's a lot going on, but some spots have held my attention more than others. [ ... ] Your hands look better. That's good.
[The flowers do grab her notice at once. Her gaze flicks down and her brows furrow — but also, who is she to judge? She would love to have some real blooms in the Lounge herself. Or even just in more places all around. All this sterile architecture is wearing her down.]
Thank you. [She looks a bit abashed, slightly averting her gaze.] ...I'm sorry about the other day, when you offered to help. I just...you know, people are being very kind to me, and I do know that it wasn't my choice to...to hurt her in that way. And everyone is being very understanding! I appreciate it, very much.
But still. It's been a little hard to not feel like I shouldn't be forgiven so easily. You know? That's all.
[ well if she's looking! she'll notice that his usually immaculately clean hands have soil clinging to the fingers, nails a little dirty. ]
You don't need to apologise to me. For now, your explanation seems genuine, and if that turns out to not be the case later I'm sure we will deal with it then. [ weirdly this does not sound like a threat. ] Forgiveness is a complicated thing, apparently. Your actions weren't your own, so I don't need to forgive you for making them. The kind of influence you were under is familiar.
