A weak smile slowly forms on your face.
It’s how you feel about <span class="mu-i">her</span>.
“GOOD!” The Spitter sputters as you spot a hint of redness where her cheeks oughta be, “I mean… I mean, that’s good… l-likewise…”
Feeling a pair of noodly arms wrap themselves around your trunk and a furry cheek press against your side, you can’t help but relax, if only just a little bit. TT?
“Yea?” She replies, her voice muffled through your robe.
Thanks.
“... We’re gonna handle all of this, Ant,” She repeats as she squeezes you tighter, “One catastrophe at a time… okay?”
Yea, you nod as you idly rub some soot from your eyes, that… that sounds good.
<span class="mu-i">Not that you deserve any of it...</span>
