Sadie has never been too great at comfort. she grew up as a single child and didn’t talk much with her mom. whenever Jake would get upset about something, she’d try her hardest to make him feel better but it usually ended with him teasing her for her attempts and making her get flustered. but if she cares about someone, she’s going to try to get them to talk to her about what’s bothering them. it’s the least she could do for Arthur, after everything he’s done for her. she has no hesitation in calling him her best friend, so of course she wants to help him in any way she can. it makes her chest ache to see him this way-- so torn apart and conflicted within himself.
“why do you feel wrong, Arthur? i know you hate it when anyone says this, but you’re the best goddamn man i know. nothin’ you say is going to make me change my mind, believe me,” she says softly, even though everyone else in the camp is asleep or trying to fall asleep in their tents. firmly, she squeezes Arthur’s hand, gaze sympathetic and patient.
