I haven't done a whole lot of hallucinating here. ...I mean outside of the whole October thing. But yeah, I imagine it would be.
[Ruby didn't think anyone was beyond redemption as a whole. ...But it required a work to get there and that person had to be willing to put that work in. Neo and Varian had both always shown that they were willing to put in that work to her.]
Honestly that's a lot of progress for her. I don't think she's become anti-stab or anything but she's being more choosy about who she wants to stab. And that's a good thing.
I don't blame you for not wanting to be best buds with her or anything either. I'm definitely not there either but we're beyond where we were at and that's something. I'll hold onto that for now
[Look at those two. Making progress.
She blinks but she can't say in her heart of hearts that she's surprised to hear that. She knew the last two months had been hard for him and he hadn't even been caught under the town's influence. She wasn't going to make it sound like staying positive in the face of tragedy was easy, she had watched it slowly chisel away at so many people back where she was from and here.
She raises a hand and let's it rest on his shoulder. She knew he still had a long way to go but she didn't think he was out of the fight yet.]
It is. You're not wrong. I don't think any of us actually have the luxury to relax here, some of us just make it look easier than others.
Maybe. Maybe you just need to find a new balance, a different way of doing things. Which I know isn't easy when you're already going through as much change as you are.
