where: the compound with: @murdcrofcrows (emil)
it feels extremely selfish to seek him out, but deja is looking for something akin to comfort, and while there are plenty of people on the compound she could probably run to for just that, she sees emil and she's drawn toward him like a moth to a flame. selfish doesn't even begin to cover it when she reaches out and gently pulls him into a hug, squeezing perhaps a little harder than necessary, lingering for a beat too long in his personal space before she's moving out of it again and giving what she hopes comes off as a warm smile, even if it feels a little brittle around the edges.
"it's good to see you... all okay." the words come out a little lame, none of the usual fervor and sass that trademark deja's speech. teeth chew for a moment on her bottom lip as she shifts from foot to foot. "can i ask a really selfish question?" she hesitates, almost loses her nerve and says 'nevermind' before she pushes forward. "i was gonna stay with my dad, i guess, but i can't really stand the idea of sleeping in my childhood bedroom with all the bad memories and shit and i was wondering if maybe you had a couch you'd be willing to loan. for a bit. i wouldn't outstay a welcome or anything. i just... i can't go to dio's place tonight."
