... Maybe... he... he already disapproves of me talking to them...

( don't ask how much her chest hurts remembering that. )

He might be worried about safety, especially after everything with Spinel and the fire guy.

[but still, oh no]

Hey, where are you?

My room...

I'll be over in a second, okay?

[And she hangs up, but it's only a few seconds later than she's knocking on Sonata's door frame.]

( the door slips open with ease- it must not have been closed all the way. sonata sits on her bed, playing a music box melody on her phone, tail curled around herself like a fluffy shield. )

Lyra...

[She's going to go and sit next to Sonata, pulling her into hug without a second thought and without a single word]

Hey, Sonata.

( oh hugs? oh time for clinging is more like it. )

I don't want to disappoint Zenith... but I can't give up on Akuki.

I... don't think you could disappoint Zenith. He loves you.

[she's convinced she has the role of BIGGEST DISAPPOINTMENT anyway]

It's not like anyone knows what happened, too. It's not like Akuki wanted to be a Weed, right? So... it'd be pretty unfair to just hate him over that.

[nevermind that zenith isn't necessarily the fair type to begin with]

Either way, I'm not going to let him make you feel bad for not wanting to give up on Akuki.

...Zenith... isn't really the kindest outside of Clover. And- and I know he doesn't like that I talk to them...

I know. I'm pretty sure he'd have a heart attack if he knew I liked Lethe, even if Lethe's part of Lily now.

But! He needs to be able to trust us a little too, right? I mean—I know for me, it's not like I'm super friendly to most people who aren't on Clover, so...

Oh yes, he made it very clear that Lethe's new position didn't matter to him.

( the chances of clover ever getting a weed transplant are slim to none.

but sonata visibly falters, looking away before leaning against lyra. )

It's all just too much.

[She's gonna be getting hair pets, while Lyra's free arm snakes its way around her]

It is. It's... so much. It's overwhelming. And it's not like either of us want to disappoint him, either. I know he just wants to protect us. But it doesn't help when stuff like this happens.

It doesn't help that he thinks of everyone outside of Clover as an enemy, either...

No, I know.

[...]

It's not like I was fond of them either, but it's hard to not warm up to them. I know he cares about us and wants to protect us! But I wish he would trust us a little more when it comes to who we do anything with.

... He's been... hurt. But...

( she trails off, unsure. what does she need to say? what does she want to say? )

I know. I—He has his reasons and I get it.

I'm not... sure what to do. We can't do more than what we are. I don't want to disappoint him, though.
