Cass freezes at Eris' words, a chill running down her spine that she knows she shouldn't pursue. How come that every single system fails, and what's left is only what you'll do yourself? She relaxes her muscles forcefully, nods one time that Eris doesn't see. "Oh," she simply returns, before moving on to apologise.
And truly, what did she expect? She feels like cold water has been dropped on her once more, trying to remember the thoughts she had earlier and coming up empty. When she apologised in situations before, it's been with people she knew longer, better, coming in with an understanding that's been formed over years. But what do they truly have here? A connection that's been decided by whimsy, but is this truly worse?
She remembers when they've been in the Woods together, with Eris definitely not stuck in a tree. Memories of doing the simulation together. More memories that could be, perhaps.
"No," she eventually speaks up again after moments and seconds that felt like molasses, coating her thoughts as they try to go faster, be useful for something. "If you'd hear my explanation out ... I don't want to see you differently from before I knew ... some things actually make more sense now," she adds with a dry laugh, thinking back on little puzzling remarks. "I'm really sorry for not being there ... I just figured out my mom's in Rocket earlier that day." But that's just things to say for herself ...
"Sorry, I didn't mean to put this all on you."
Eris Halla
