“Grizz, I’m so relieved to see you.” Helena says immediately when she notices that Grizz is back from his trip. She’s still standing somewhat shellshocked where she’d ended up during that whole ‘spectacle’ that Harry and Lexie made of Allie and Will. “Things have gotten really bad really quickly.” She says, lowering her voice as she does so.

Suddenly she’s regretting accepting this mission as she stands in the doorway of what is apparently the last available room of the inn they’re staying in. Leia’s arms cross as a frown makes its way across her lips, eyes widening for a brief moment before she lets out a sigh of annoyance. The bed is clearly large enough for the two of them, but sharing a bed with him is a little out of her comfort zone, as appealing as it sounds ( a fact that she’s unwilling to admit to herself ). “I’ll just... sleep on the floor.”
SHE HAD KEPT HER DISTANCE FROM THE REST OF THE GROUP, more to not let her anger get the better of her whenever she saw the others. it was more anger directed at herself but it was easier to take it on them than herself. the only person she was in contact with was josh, but there were times when that was minimal. her mom kept telling her that she was MOURNING , despite the fact that she refused to believe that hannah and beth were dead. but till she had gotten control of the anger she was feeling, it was best to avoid the others.
of course, it’s difficult to avoid them when one of them walks into the place where she volunteered. it’s not that she didn’t want to see any of them, she just didn’t trust herself to be nice at this time. plus she never really thought of matt as a lover of animals, so seeing him in an animal shelter was definitely shocking.
“ matt, what are you doing here? ” she asked softly, slipping some hair behind her ear as she stepped towards him. she wasn’t stupid, she wasn’t going to start a fight with him here, she just hoped he was alone and there was no other surprises coming her way.

Cassian felt sort of awful when he woke up. Maybe, not as awful as usually after spending a night at a bar, but his memory was all blurry, and, when realizing Jyn was cuddled close to him in his bed, he wondered if they had done something more than drinking together last night, maybe.
“Jyn?” He whispered, voice croaked. When lifting one hand to push some strands of hair out of her face, he noticed the ring, and blinked in confusion. That was none of his belongings. In fact, Cassian had never seen this ring before. He could see Jyn’s name being carved into it, which only made things more confusing now.
“Jyn, I… I would suggest you better wake up now? Please?”

The urge Helena has to shake Harry and ask him ‘what in the world is going on’ is an incredibly strong one, and it’s only his new power that stops her from doing so. None of this makes any sense, but she knows that she won’t be any help to anyone if she ends up locked up with Allie and Will for assaulting one of New Ham’s mayors. So she’s cautious to approach him, but she does so. “When are you going to address what the expedition team found?” She asks. They’ve found land, she’s not about to let him or Lexie forget it.
This ain’t the kind of place she thought she’d find herself on a fucking Wednesday night.
Cassie at the table, and, her mom left drunk on the couch again. Funny how many things don’t change over the course of a summer, thinking like, maybe it’s not so fucking crazy that she hasn’t gotten clean after all. Lexi’s in the bathroom, bailing her out again -- Rue doesn’t wanna talk about it and she’s doing all she can to avoid any of the the stares that Cassie might be passing her way, KNOWING WHAT SHE’S THINKING and how it’s ain’t all that far off from the reality.
They’re nothing like they used to be, though Cassie’s always been nice. Nice like the way that guys really like, even if they’re not capable of understanding shit or appreciating it neither. McKay’s hardly the first guy that she’s seen the blonde all moon eyed over, but maybe that’s what happens when you’re chasing love out of anybody that’s willing to give you a shot. Gets it, honestly, Rue remembered when their dad fucking split, seen him too when she’s been scoring drugs.
They don’t talk, either, Rue and their dad.
But funny thing, Rue’s knows McKay, maybe because they’re one of the few black folk out here in the middle of middle-class suburbia, maybe it’s because her sister’s like, half dating one of his brothers (or both... Rue doesn’t really wanna know the whole story either). But Cassie, the way they TALK ABOUT HER when she’s not there, it eats like acid - Cassie, after all, is nice. “So.......” her words feel long in a silence that stretches out between them. The sound of a light upstairs being flipped on. “How are things with McKay? Still, yanno. Just talking?”

Something’s going on with Kat.
And everyone fucking knows it.
If this were another time or place, maybe Rue’d have more capacity to dig through the changes, instead of observing them, passively, off to the side. How her hair style changes from that blunt cut cuteness to something more ruffled and edgy. How suddenly her make up looks like she’s ripping Maddy’s style, but more goth, to which, hey girl, rhinestones are a GIRL’S BEST FRIEND. And then there’s the clothes, like, she raided Forever 21 and got away with it, but really it’s like she’s rolling up in Torrid and some stuff she got from the sex shop because she looks like she wants to suck your blood or some shit, but hey if it works for her...
But no, that’s kind of the superficial crap, the paint job on a relic that’s been forgotten in time. What’s really making Kat the new Kat is her attitude, the way that she isn’t faking it anymore. Maybe that’s what it is... she made it. She made that happen for her, the moment she saw that video spread, how everyone’s seen it... I mean, the party was a mess and the guy’s a fucking asshole still for uploading it, and yeah it’s child porn, so really it’s not fair to say that Kat’s this or that because of that video, but it really did mark the moment that she seemed to pivot to being... well.
“I know you don’t really need me to say it but. You look good, Kat.” they’re at another party, another place to dress up and play pretend, and the drugs are there, a bottle of Henny in her palm. Doesn’t ask about the money it cost for the new clothes because she knows that shit’s TOUCHY, and Rue can say she’s done some shitty shit just to get what she needs in a moment where she’s hurting. But she’s trying to be good, to care about others and not just about that sweet euphoria that comes in 2 seconds of nothing, a twitchy, nervous smile on her lips. “Wanna drink?”

This is Helena’s first time seeing baby Eden, and she’s absolutely precious. She smiles at the sight of her in Sam’s arms. “You know, I can take her for a little while, if you want.” She offers, signing as she does so. She learned sign ages ago, and she knows more than enough to be smooth and coherent in talking to him. “I don’t mean to seem rude, but you look exhausted, and I was 13 when my youngest sister was born. I have experience with babies.”
