Right. I keep forgetting, some of them were quite a lot shorter. [she finishes cleaning one hand and moves to the next, delicate and effective.] It is very strange to think about. But if there's anything you want to ask about it, you can always run it by me?
Or just vent about how strange all this is. I mean, my first time out in places like these, I didn't understand how anything worked! It was completely the opposite of everything I knew. So I get it! Culture shock, world-hopping style.
If I've got questions I'll come straight to you. [ a touch softer. ] The different people, the way they all look or act - that doesn't surprise me so much. We've got so many types at the bottom that nobody here isn't something I've already seen.
It's just how resigned everybody has been so far that's throwing me.
I suppose that isn't a very good impression to make. It just...it did wear on you greatly. Things moved very quickly, but it was also very easy to grow close to people. Only to find out they were dead that weekend, and someone else you cared about had killed them. And even if you died, it...wasn't much easier.
[ she only had two weeks, but her life is full of this sort of thing. it's not new, to think about friends dying and killing each other and then dying yourself. ]
In shitty situations like this you bond quick. I get it.
[There's a downward cast to her eyes, but her voice comes with a touch more warmth now.]
True. Even my friends from before this, we all met in really dire circumstances, and it was no time at all before we were inseparable. [Rosamund wipes away the last of the solution and gather's Vis hands into her own, tapping one impertinently with her thumb.] I don't have the proper bandages for these on me, so you'll go grab some from the first aid station, won't you?
It'd be really lame to get an infection before anything crazy happened.

So. Not ideal. Not really.

Yeah, yeah. Fussy.
[ but it's affectionate, and she sort of rubs at rosamund's hands with her own thumbs, absently. ]
I'll get the bandages. Thanks for the assist, princess.
