we should stay here until morning , it’s too dark .
walk with her in the woods RN!!!, accepting.
despite his words, she doesn't let go. never ever, and she keeps pulling. tugging childishly in the direction of out of the clearing. he doesn't understand, he never has, and there's nothing she can do to help him to. she doesn't want to speak about it, can't find words to say that will make sense to him. there are things in the world that his sciences can't explain, things that make the woods after dark so safe for someone like her, and anyone with her. frowning petulantly, she stops tugging, and just stands very still and thinks about how she could convince him. maybe if she told him there was a really big robot waiting for them, or his friends; the aven-gun people. " dad, c'monn, it's really, like, not even that dark! there's fireflies! and mushrooms! and i know here. i just know. "
