[ to her ear, Felix's long exhale sounds exasperated; Iske always did the same, when she was in this state. annoyed by the burden of her existence even as he continues to suffer it for some strange reason. but he isn't going anywhere. Ruby mimics him, taking several deep, careful breaths of her own, whether to calm herself or cope with the pain lancing through her and filling her vision with black spots. ]

I-I'll just go and lie down. [ that's all she wanted to do in the first place. doesn't he understand how it would look if he went and interrupted everyone? spoilt Rudbeckia just wants to be the centre of attention so badly she can't even let them eat dinner in peace. ] I'm sure I'll be fine after I rest, so I don't want to bother anyone...

[ all she has to do is make it to tomorrow, and then she can pretend that it has passed.

except that as she tries to sit up, using Felix's arm to steady herself, and her head tilts forward—a drop of blood lands on her skirt and soaks into the fabric. she raises her other hand to her face, where a trail of blood is leaking from her nose: not just a drip, but a steady stream. ]


... Ah.

[ she doesn't sound surprised. Well, this is the third time. Why does it seem like more blood than usual, though... ]
