camille's voice makes her chest ache, even more so when she clocks the nasally hint of emotion. it brings forth a desire to rip herself from the bed to envelope her friend and provide reassurances, along with unnecessary apologies, but she shouldn't. she can't. not if she hopes her leg heals without incident, and that hurts almost more than her injuries themselves. her response is soft, spoken through a small smile, ❝ no, honey. i'm sorry, your company is always welcome. ❞ the artist is a breath of fresh air for danbi, the embodiment of love and warmth, and while she's a friend dani isn't sure she deserves, there are no words to describe how lucky she feels to have her ( and solar ) in her life. without moving her propped up leg, the raven scooches the best she can to provide room for her guest before patting the now empty space on her bed, finally throwing a glance over her shoulder. ❝ i love you too, cami. always, and thank you for coming to tell me―now get your butt over here for some cuddles, please, and tell me everything else you wanna say. ❞ because while that was likely the most important, she's 99% certain it wasn't all. they're similar in that way.
camille's expression is so instantly transformed into a genuine smile, like a kid who's just woken up on christmas morning, as soon as danbi told her that she's always welcome . that's all camille ever wanted, really . especially now when she's so far from home . cami moved over to the bed and shuffled in to the space made for her, careful and gentle in making sure she didn't disrupt danbi's leg . " i love you so, so much, " her eyes were still watery and it became more impossible to hide it as she wrapped one of her arms around her in a hug . " i actually brought you something ." cami's smile turned excited, her shyness coming from the anticipation of this moment . she held up her other hand to show a sketch she'd done in the time she'd been reeling about the near loss of her friend . camille had gone to the safety of her imaginary world as she so often did, escaping any kind of reality that danbi was hurt and drawing something way closer to what she wanted . she handed the picture over to dani : a sketch of dani, camille and solar . solar had a crocheted peach hat donned in sunflowers and cute swirls, his long ears sticking out the top . danbi and camille were either side of the rabbit, but instead of hats they had headbands with long ears on them . camille was definitely capable of better if she'd have more time and been in a less emotional state, but she was desperate to gift something that felt like a little escape for the brain . " because i know lala misses you, " she spoke of her rabbit son, heart aching at how much she missed him but trying not to show it in her smile .
