I have died every day waiting for you

[That was, in Rose's opinion, even worse than last week. Any loss of life is an awful waste, but for it all to come of some horrible accident...

This week, she doesn't retreat back to her room. She knows now that the people here, or at least enough of them, like to gather after these experiences. Many of the Crystal Gems were the same way; she remembers their post-battle huddles well. It's not a party, really, but...it's good to be together. To have friends around. Maybe, to remember those who were lost.

So this time, she'll go to the cafeteria herself and request some food for everyone. It's just basic snacks, the kind of human food she knows well enough to ask for. There's some hot chocolate provided, too. She definitely knows people enjoy that. It doesn't take too long, since she isn't making most of it, and then she goes to invite everybody she can find.

She doesn't slip any notes underneath doors, for the people she doesn't happen across. Some Crystal Gems didn't join the groups, or maybe did after one battle but not another. Sometimes they wanted to be alone. She never really understood that...but it wasn't her place to tell them otherwise. Weren't they all about freedom?

Everybody probably knows something like this is going to happen again, anyway. It's their choice to come.]

Rhea...

[ She nods, though. And she puts her hand on the table, if Rhea needs it. ]

... That's true. But-- I hope someone would trust me when I say I'd never hate or... or discount anyone for not being human.

[ ... ]

I know it can be difficult, though... to trust.

[Has Rhea ever looked this unsure since she's been here? Probably not. Trust is hard, especially when you have to admit it over something like this. So, for the first time, she does take Mira's hand.]

...It is not easy to trust but I suppose that it is not a one way path. [...] I cannot say more than this. Please understand.
philoxenia: (so what are you gonna do--)

[ Yeah.... she gets that. At the very least... she's glad Rhea's reaching out. Even if it's just physically. Gently, she squeezes her hand. ]

Of course. I would never-- never force you to tell me something you'd rather not say.

[Her hand is... shaking? She definitely doesn't seem to want to draw attention to that.]

...That is all I can ask.
