( because maple... is very direct, when she needs to be, and because helena still doesn't seem to understand the circumstances of maple's words in quite the way that was intended. there's a momentary pause, but she continues before long, shaking her head. it's helena, after all — it isn't as if maple doesn't want to be her friend if they possibly can be. that's why she wants to give the other girl the benefit of the doubt. )
But I don't think you meant for your words to be hurtful, Helena. That's why I told you that they were — so that you wouldn't say them again, to somebody who may not have that faith in you.
( like ranger. imagine if she had called ranger sub-human. that one doesn't need a reminder of that, honestly, and maple can't see such a thing ending well. )
