>>18900535>>18900540>>18905110Robyn silently nods her acknowledgement of Andi's request to help her with the letter later, hoping not to draw too much attention to it as she seems embarrassed.
She reflects on her own struggles with speaking in front of people. Whether it be an audience of one, or an arena full of people, she often found herself overcome by nerves and unable to prevent herself from stuttering constantly. She smiles at Lillith, finding her own issues with communicating all too relatable. Yet ever since Andi came into Robyn's life the confidence she's gained has gradually rendered her stutter less of an issue. Now, she's gone through the entire day without stuttering once and almost didn't even notice.
So in its own small way, reading that letter for Andi would be a way to repay her. But is it enough? Robyn eyes Warhorse. If she could help Andi win their titles, a moment like that in front of the whole world, overcoming the odds together, seeing Andi's smile... Robyn sighs. What if she messes things up in some way? What if instead of a moment of joyful triumph, the familiar feeling of defeat and disappointment is where this journey leads?

"Has anyone ever tried penguin meat? There's so many of them around and since you're killing them anyway... maybe they taste like chicken?"
