[well - she was a little distant, after this one, but scien says that and it startles her into laughing, something helpless that she tries to cover with her hand. he's not wrong!]
That is a very good word for him. [she says, exhaling slow.] ... He's dead, at least.
[there is the slightest blip of relief in hearing her laugh. that's good.
but he frowns thoughtfully afterward. in his now functioning emotions, there is a sense that he does not know what to say—and finally, ever so slightly, cares about possibly saying the wrong thing.]
Is that something you would receive 'congratulations' for? Or is there another sentiment you prefer?
[she is absolutely fascinated by his emotions, actually - the relief, and the very slight concern about getting it right... that makes her smile, at least, small as it is. it's been weeks since she's really been able to interact with him, and she remembers the crunched up and off way his emotions used to make it through.
there's a sense of something... maybe not proud, that's not exactly the right word, but glad for him.]
Congratulations works, yes. [she says, rubbing at her face a little.] Good riddance to horrible trash.
... That is the last thing I experienced before arriving here. It will be surreal to go back to that moment.
