A sorrowful Ashton was not something Russet ever liked to see. His words weighed heavy, his expression in his voice seemed solemn. A gentle hand touched his arm and made it’s way up to his shoulder. Russet waited to see if he was going to reject the touch, before giving a light rub.
Her words came with an equally reassuring face. “Y’know you can tell me anything, right? I know some things are difficult to talk about but, I’m here. I haven’t ‘survived’ much of my own, but I’ll do my best to understand.”
Everyone else around her seemed to have an awful life experience, a trauma or two. Russet was relatively lucky, only one instance of an uneventful divorce and bandits attempting to be, well bandits. Nothing compared to what everyone else had gone through. Even when Beacon fell she was unscathed by comparison.
She held disdain for herself for it.
“If you don’t want to, we could do something to take your mind off of things instead.”
