[after a brief run-in with Peter, she heads out of the workshop and across Camp. it's dark enough that her visibility is hindered, and the threat of the looming zombies is enough that she keeps her wand out. just in case.

she stops outside the hotel and heads to the door without hesitation.]

I thought about it. But there was never really the time for me to research it.

[allmiracles]

There's a lot of things like that, aren't there?

[actualizedname]

There's a lot of things in the world to know. More than any one person could do in a lifetime.

[allmiracles]

[stopping for a moment to look awfully contemplative]

Do you think there are fal'Cie out in the stars?

[actualizedname]

No.

[allmiracles]

What about Hallowed Pulse and Etro?

[actualizedname]

I don't think Etro is in the stars.

[allmiracles]

So we'd really be making our own world, wouldn't we?

[actualizedname]

That's right.

[allmiracles]

I would like to see that, too.

[ushering him up out of the chair and to the bed]

[staying put]

What are you doing?

[allmiracles]

Aren't you coming with me?

[actualizedname]

To ... do what?

[allmiracles]

[sometimes you are not smart]

Sleep.

[actualizedname]

I'm fine, Vanille.

[allmiracles]

[this is a little bit more difficult, and for a moment she hesitates. opens and closes her mouth, and then she looks a little defeated.]

...

I'm not.

[actualizedname]

...oh, Vanille.

[sits on the bed]

I'm sorry that I'm not Fang.

[allmiracles]

[flops next to him, the more decorative elements of her outfit gone]

You're not, but it'll be nice.

[actualizedname]

[reaches out for her hand]

It's okay to be scared.

[allmiracles]

It's not just that.

[actualizedname]

What is it?

[allmiracles]

It's not so bad right now.

[actualizedname]

We're all here. Not here, in this room, obviously, we wouldn't all fit. But you're not alone.

[allmiracles]

[leans against him with a little breath of air that sounds like a "poof."]

Mm, it's okay. Just stay here.

[actualizedname]

All right. I'll stay.

[shifts so that it's actually comfortable for her to lean against him XD]
