@6utchery π¬ "great, youβre yelling at me again."
she's very clearly not yelling, despite how much she wants to most of the time she talks to shauna lately. it would be so easy to lash out like she might've done back at home, even just a few months ago, but it doesn't feel like an option anymore. she was chosen as their leader because, apparently, she's the right person for the jobβΒ and while nat still doesn't know if there's any truth to that, she's at least doing the best job she can for the sake of everyone else here, even if it wouldn't have been her choice in the first place. that means she doesn't get the luxury of lashing out on people, she doesn't get to be the one fighting; she should be mediating, but every day, shauna makes that a whole lot harder, and she's starting to fear she's closer to her breaking point.
βΒ okay. β the word is drawn out, overly calm, quiet, as if to prove a point as she glares back at her. βΒ i'm not trying toβ β no, it feels fucking pointless to try to defend herself, when she's sure that shauna knows she's not trying to do that, that she's just trying to get a rise out of her instead. so she takes a deep breath, quickly shaking her head. βΒ i just think you could, you know, go a little easier on her. β she hates the way it sounds like she's some fucking elementary school teacher. maybe this is why jackie made the best captain after all, she never had shame for that.
