( Sometimes Adelaide says things and it makes her chest feel too overcrowded. Not unwelcome, some anxious rabble, but something lighter, even as there is a weight to it. Or maybe significance is the better word? Who knows.
Ruby's breath is long and slow as she absorbs that, tries to capture it, hold onto it. She's aware that it'd mean a lot from anyone, but when things come from Adelaide it's different.
At some point that might be a problem. )
Don't go making me get all sentimental, Captain. I might swoon, or something.
So long as you swoon where you'll land somewhere safe.
[ That unyielding edge to her voice drops away- teasing and making light...she can allow Ruby that. It is a difficult thing to discuss, all the more so as Adelaide...doesn't have that much experience with it. But she tries for Red and it seems worthwhile. ]
