The fact that so many of you have told me that makes my heart ache. [she says, glancing at him.] You shouldn't have to be in the middle of it. All of them failed you.
Don't say shit like that. I'm not playing that game, don't what if me. Like no, obviously I wouldn't just sacrifice civilians for anything. I can want both to be safe.
silence, for a moment, and then she turns to face him. her hand comes up, and she gently tucks a strand of his hair behind his ear.]
Is that not what I was saying? You should be able to forget about them, and let someone else take care of it. Civilians shouldn't be your responsibility.

[she counts ash as a baby, but also like. some of the more innocent 17 and 18 year olds. she's like thirty, all of you are babies.]

Unfortunately, I don't know how many of those there are.

Camille. Ash, at the very least. [sigh.] Not you, but - even so. I wish it wasn't like that.
no subject
he will take her to one of the cows and urge her to pet... it is healing ]
... It's kind of weird that I don't know many adults like you. Who want to keep kids away from seeing violence.

... I'm being way too depressing to be petting sheep.
no subject
[she gives him a little smile in return.]

no subject
