A breath of fresh air would not be enough for this event to be something he can suffer his way through. Around every corner is some new memory, some tangled knot that Reuben cannot unravel himself from. It's a reckless thought, particularly when he's already told Enver that he'll stay until after the Trial results are announced. Unfortunately, Reuben is on his way to disappear to the bridge without goodbye. That is, until he spots one more face. Leave. It would be so easy. Ignoring her is the correct move. He's already dealt with both Fell sisters, Xiu, and... Is she distressed? It doesn't matter; she's not his friend to look out for. It doesn't matter to him.

It doesn't matter.

And yet his worn boots carry him across the Pavilion regardless. He doesn't bother with greetings, only stepping close enough that no one else will hear the low pitch of his voice, soft and perhaps threatening to whoever else is involved. "Are you alright?"

She's standing beside Lenianna in the kitchen, complete silence other than The Beatles playing softly in the background. The quiet is companionable, but odd for a girl who can rarely allow anyone a moment of peace. The work doesn't require any focus either when they're just prepping various fruits for a fruit salad, but Angelie eventually breaks it, unable to contain her worries another moment. "Leni, have you ever experienced feeling like your entire life is a lie? Like.... I don't know, does that make you a lie, then?"
