It's more than just optimism. It's experience too.

[She had suffered her fair share of pain and sorrow. She knew it would only get worse if let herself stew in it.

She smiles sheepishly.]

Yeah, kind of. These emotional conversations make me hungry.

[Most things make her hungry.]

[droptheious]

Well, there is that, too, sure.

[Varian's had plenty of experience. He's just not been great at picking himself up from it. He does manage a small chuckle, reaching to grab the box and offering them to her.]

You say that like being hungry isn't a natural state of being for you.

[clickclickbloom]

[She knows he has the experience. She knows it's not as easy for other people to pick themselves up afterward, but they managed to pull through together. She's sure with help Varian can get there too at some point.]

Wow. Way to just call me out like that.

[She opens the box and takes one to pop it into her mouth. Then her hand promptly reaches in to grab another. She holds it a few inches away from his mouth.

She smiles and tilts his head.]

Waamph omph?

[Want one? She can't be the only one tired and hungry after all of this.]

[droptheious]

Hey, I call it as I see it.

[He'll sheepishly take a cookie from her, chewing it thoughtfully. He's not all that hungry, honestly, his stomach is still churning from all the panic and unease he's been feeling for the last while. But he realises he should probably make an effort. ]

Thanks. They're mostly for you, though.

[clickclickbloom]

[She smiles when he takes the cookie. She knows how bad he can be at taking care of himself, more so when he's stressed out like this. She just wants to make sure he has at least a little fuel to help him go on.]

I know, I know. Weird news cookies, I get it.

But if they're mostly for me then I get to choose what I do with them.

[She manages to scarf down two more and then she reaches up to offer him another one.]

And I'm in a sharing kind of mood.

[droptheious]

More like one for me a three for you, huh?

[It feels nice to be able to bring some teasing levity to this, after what was a horrible conversation. It feels almost normal. But she'd be right, he's been taking care of himself considerably less than usual. He takes another with a small smile. ]

But thanks.

[clickclickbloom]

Hey-You don't know that-Maybe I'm keeping count and will save you your fair share at the end. It's not a race!

[It's definitely a race. Sorry Varian.

And she's much happier to try and bring up the mood. She wasn't exactly sure what the future would bring for the both of them at this point. But she had said her piece and had meant it.

All she could really do was wait and see what choices Varian would make. Then she'd have to make her own.]

No problem.

[droptheious]

She says, unhinging her jaw to devour all the cookies.

[He does say it with affection, though. Her little... quirks are what makes Ruby uniquely her. He was at least honest when he told her that he still loved her. Even if everything ahead of them is so... uncertain now. ]

[clickclickbloom]

[She shoots him an affectionate glare.]

Iffff naw tha bad!

[She says with three cookies currently stuffed into her mouth. Varian made good cookies, don't judge her. She swallows down the mass snack food and doesn't choke to death in the process.]

Just be glad I haven't developed an appetite for people while we've been here.

[And she offers him another cookie and just smiles softly. It was easier to focus on the here and now, she didn't want to dwell on a future that she didn't have any control over at the moment.]

[droptheious]

[Ruby, you're terrifying and wonderful at the same time. A laugh bubbles out of him.]

Yeeaaaaah, let's not start trying out cannibalism. I feel like that's a dangerous road to travel here.

[clickclickbloom]

That's fair. It looked pretty darn disgusting when the whole cult thing happened. I'd rather stick to actual chicken or things that I know taste like it.

[droptheious]

I think that's wise. Generally, I think it's smart not to eat any suspect food in this place.
