"Tch. Now you gettin' all worked up." The words come softly as Plumeria comes to sit on the edge of the bed, reaching out to gather Rapp up in her arms. She holds the younger woman close, gently rubbing her back in small, soothing circles. "You okay, girl. You been through it. Worst is over now."
rapp, as soon as plumeria gathers her in her arms, wraps her arms around her sister figure and clings on tightly. she shakes the slightest bit with the effort of trying to hold back from outright sobbing as she buries her face in plumerias shoulder. she took comfort in the small movements on her back– she’d never admit it but being hugged and consoled like this was one of the many things rapp so desperately craved. another thing plumeria did was another one of those cravings that rapp never thinks she could ever hope to quench the desperation for:
validation.
❝ pluuu… ❞ she cried out softly, unable to keep back the softest of sobs, before words just kept spilling past her lips. ❝ ‘m sorry ‘m bad all the time, and– and i get m’self hurt a lot and i get so mean to th’ other grunts but ‘m really happy skull’ m’ family and i don’t ever wanna let you guys down. i needed to keep boss safe, i couldn’t leave ‘im and– ❞
she cuts herself off, biting her lip before she finishes her rambling in a soft whisper.
❝ i love everyone, plu– just wanna keep ‘em safe… wanna make you proud– ❞
