⤷ ✧ @strcys said, ❝ you're forever assuming the worst. ❞ ( teen!ellie for gibbs 🤣 )

❛ yes. yes, I am. ❜ and all considered, he rather thinks it's justified. see all the things he's seen, even just on american soil, and how can one not assume the worst of humanity? he doesn't though, not really. not always. though, granted, always when it came to any boy within a ten foot vicinity of her. ❛ when it's warranted. and trust me, ellie, it's warranted. ❜

⤷ ✧ @strcys said, ❝ the least i can do is send you on your way with a full stomach. ❞

❛ I'm not sure I could eat anything right now, much less stomach a proper meal. ❜ neither her words nor the shake of her head, however, are any commentary on ellie's cooking. elizabeth reminds herself, as she has multiple times already in the past thirty minutes, to say nothing of the preceding hours and preceding days, that she has dealt with far, far worse than this.

in fact, this ought to be child's play.

none of those reminders have done a thing to settle her nerves. ❛ thank you, though. maybe once we get back? ❜
