I wasn't going to kill her anyway. I just wanted to prove it would have fucking consequences next time. She can't just... get away with it. Erin can't expect me to roll over and just accept that she nearly murdered my closest friends, fucking emotionally traumatized two of them, and... what, nothing? Just move on with our shit?
[ She flexes her hand, only looking up when Helena sits down. ]
I wish she hadn't dragged you into it. It was my fight with Daisy, nobody else needed to get involved.
[a less aware person might argue that Skulduggery's situation had some similarities. born of something uncontrollable, leading to chaos and death and anguished feelings all around. but no one asked anyone to forgive the man - he openly requested his own death for it. he did his own work for amends. whatever Daisy does, it'll have to happen on her own terms. Erin can't shield her from that, and she'll say she won't try, but sometimes that means letting someone keep a knife on them to feel safe.]
That's something I'll have to talk with her about on our own time. I don't think I have the right words to bring it up yet without being...less kind.
[at the least.]
...Listen, Darcy. I hardly expect us to always be in agreement about things. That's just stupid to think. But even if we're disagreeing...all that I said, I meant. About the charm, and about caring about you. I want to know you're all right, or at the least, that you can get help if you need it.
[ Another echo of Phil's words. Funny how that seems to happen so often. One single lesson that goes on teaching her. Darcy's throat closes up, still so unsure how to handle a genuine offer of friendship like this. Of care. How to be cared for like this. Everyone else cushions it in friendly jabs or silent understanding, but Helena keeps offering it out so earnestly.
She swallows, ] Yeah- I want that too. For you, I mean. I want to know you're alright too.

It's a pity that my signal can only reach one way. But at least on board, you can always message me, for anything.
