[god. regardless of who gemini actually is, this is like. the best position. love these dogs.

I simply think you do not give yourself enough credit. To some, you truly were the best. [them included, again, no matter who they are.] ...I imagine for someone like that, it's a lesson that's difficult to really put into action. Even if they would like to. Isn't it similar for you, sometimes?
[sometimes you're scared of people getting too close and too involved that you don't let them help at all.]
[that's fair, who wouldn't want to be buried in dogs.
she pauses, because that read on her - well, look, if she wasn't convinced they knew her in another place already, she would be now. her ear flicks, and she looks down at maus to pet him a little more, giving herself a second.]
Sure. [she says, after a moment, and it's not dismissive or anything, she just - knows this is a flaw she has.] I'm trying to get a little better about it. Thing - the thing about it is that it, um. It's a back and forth process. Sometimes I feel like I can. Other days I can't bring myself to.
[she glances at them.] But like I said, it's getting easier. I know that I have people who love me. It's, uh, it's disingenuous and frankly, rude, if I say nobody does.
...I get that. I really do. [some days are better than others, and sometimes those days change without warning.] I think trying is what's important here. I'm glad you're in a place you can at least recognize that much though.
[nothing can be bad when you're in a pile of dogs.]
I'm not worried. [they say, sort of in the way you tell yourself everything is fine even when it may not be true.] I think...you will act wisely during the term of your contract. You've always been clever.
[very tiring that they still have to sound like edgeworth but here we are. doing this stupidly.]
You can't really talk about it with me, I don't think. [she says, after a moment.] I know what happens if I put my uh, my paw too far under the door, as it were.

I upset some people joking about dying, so uh. It was hard to not recognize. [...] Thanks for the support, as always.

[she rests her head on their shoulder for a moment?]
I think you deserve to hear a thank you, though.
no subject
I do appreciate it, even if I still don't feel it's necessary. But like always, I cannot stop you from expressing how you feel.
no subject
That's right, you can't. I'm going to tell you over and over until you get sick of it.

I could maybe stand to hear it more. Maybe that'll make me act less uh, less dumb.

she just... doesn't know which direction they think is wise. and it's not like she can ask them. so she just stays silent, nodding a little.

...remind me. What was your favorite thing to do on this Station?
no subject
well, she's not telling them one of the things]
I liked playing the violin in the Planetarium, a lot. Hanging out on the beach with people I liked. Things like that.
no subject
...the beach?
[beach? beeeeeach?]
Of course. That does suit you. I've forgotten how large this place really is.
no subject
[ear flick.] This place is surprisingly big in comparison to the others. Except for the Prism. That place went on forever.
Why do you ask?
no subject
I suppose if I cannot really speak about myself, I'd like to hear more from you. Even if it's things I may already know.
