“Good…” The less time Aubrey spent around her “mother” the better, in Mari’s eyes. If she felt safe and happy around Kim and her family then that was a win. “I’ve been…alright, I guess? Some downs with Sunny, but I’m not gonna give up! Hero and Kel have been helping me a lot with my rehab as well. I was actually moving around the house without my chair for a good while the other day. Much to Hero’s frustration.~” She said with a giggle. “Kel suggested I start keeping a diary and for the most part its been working. At the very least I’m not bottling stupid things up anymore.”
“Aside from that though… You kept my old ribbon, I see. It looks good on you, Auby. Matches your eyes too.”
{ 🏏 } ❝ wow, kel made a good suggestion for once? that’s news to me. i didn’t think he had it in him. glad you're doing good though. hopefully it stays that way. ❞
she hopes that the light-hearted joke helps keep mari’s spirits up, as the way she trails off for a bit during her explanation makes it clear that some things are affecting her more than she’d probably like to admit. but that was fine, they didn’t have to focus on those kinds of things.
at the mention of the ribbon in her hair, aubrey brings a hand up to touch it, as if she had forgotten it was there and needed to remind herself it existed.
❝ oh, yeah. that. well, i dunno... it’s just... it feels like having a part of you with me at all times. so i like wearing it. i hope you don’t mind. ❞
