Decimotercera ⚜ Roda [March 13th, afternoon; video]

[Today finds Fabiola perched somewhere high, and taking a well-deserved day off from her usual activities. She raises the hand holding a thermos- coffee, because she considers herself too mature a girl for something like hot chocolate- to the camera, and then takes a sip of her coffee, preparing herself to speak. She's not as long-winded as usual today, though perhaps it's for the best, considering what she wants to ask.]

I know a lot of people have left lately, and I know some of those here are better at handling it than others. So in the interest of helping those that do not take it as well as others...

[She shifts idly, peering over her hands at the ground below and scooting backward just a little.]

How do you make yourselves feel better, Death City? What do you do in order to keep pushing forward?

[She smiles a little, and then shakes her head.]

Some people do not expect kindness without someone wanting something in return. Others are raised to believe that it is the least they can do to be kind to others, especially if they have nothing else to offer. It is confounding, but I suppose that is just what happens because people can believe in the things they want to believe in.

[that makes sense. especially given his designation, he can't really blame people who were simply taught one way or the other.]

I see. I think I prefer to offer that kindness regardless of whether others expect or believe it.

[She smiles, and after a moment's hesitation, reaches out to pat his arm.]

Then it makes you a better person than most, believe me.
