[seasonality] catchall for rupert

[he nods, thinking.]

So... If he said there's something we could do that would be of great help, it's just a matter of figuring out all the other ways that we can help from where we are. Maybe someone could try to do extra credit and see if it gets us anything?

[wtfox]

Maybe. It might be easier said than done in some cases.

[for example - there are so few of them! she can hardly ask rupert for help with her extra credit, now, because it'll be way too obvious and it won't count.]

The worst that can happen is... nothing happens. So I guess it can't hurt to try.

[heartlands]

...Yeah. It might be tough depending on what we've got. But I think we can figure it out.

[wtfox]

...

[she catches herself just about to agree - yeah, we can - and then frowns, because that's something she would have said before finding out she died for his sins.]

[heartlands]

...What is it?

[wtfox]

...why is it so hard for me to stay angry at you?

[heartlands]

[he... doesn't have an answer for that! so he stays silent, but he does look guilty.]

[wtfox]

[she waits for an answer - and when she doesn't get one, she stays silent and looks away.]

[heartlands]

[once she looks away:]

I just - I don't want to tell you how to feel. You have every right to be angry at me.

[wtfox]

I know I do. But then we get to talking, and it's like before I knew what you did and what I died for, and that's frustrating.

[heartlands]

Do you need some space?

[wtfox]

...yeah. Yeah, I think I do.

[and so they sat on opposite sides of the daycare until our next thread]
