[ ashlyn can be found sometime after trial... sitting outside, behind the theater. it's her sulking spot. i'm sorry all of her starters are the equivalent of :) she's here come bother her!!! :) but alas. ]

[ ashlyn doesn't judge any. her emotions don't really change that much because they're already a pretty messy mix of misery. ]

Sure. You wanna talk about Kate?

[ she goes quiet, unsure what to say but trying to be obedient, here. ]

[ she stays quiet even longer, mulling over what to say to this. trying to sort out how she feels and then even more difficult: put it into words.

camille hadn't made her unbraid her hair.

... ]


I already know what happens next. What people have to do and that it doesn't work to put it off. [ she just doesn't think anything she could say is going to change that, so. why bother. ]

[ like always, ashlyn just lets her do this, not really returning the embrace but doing nothing to avoid it. all she does is bow her head, letting her bangs hide her face as much as she can. ]

You already went through it.

[ as herself. and watching kate, today. camille knows every side of this intimately. it feels bad to burden her with anything more. ]

[ truthfully, ashlyn doesn't really like talking about things that much. she's been doing her best to be communicative (about what she can be) while she's here, because that's what's in everyone's best interests. but it's not as though she enjoys it.

the thought of trying to talk about this whole mess doesn't feel comforting at all.

but. being offered that comfort means something to her. her emotions dip into gratitude, even though there's this clear through-line of paranoid distrust. ]


It doesn't change anything. My side. What I say. It won't change any of it.
