there’s something wrong with rachel. eve latched onto her for this evaluation -- she doesn’t have any acting experience, and she knows there’s plenty to learn from rachel. besides, since their reconciliation she can’t help but want to be around the other, to laugh and joke with her like they used to.
( luna is still missing, but eve can’t do anything about that. for now she can settle with spending time with them separately, but she still always feels like there’s something else she could do, a hand she could extend. she knows better than to try. )
the choosing of their scene comes easily -- eve had just rewatched toy story not long ago, and the thought of doing a disney scene makes her feel a bit more comfortable with the whole thing, as it’s more in the realm of things she knows. the scene is emotional, too, and will require plenty of work and practice from her to pull off just how passionate woody is while trying to convince buzz of how great it is to be a toy.
and buzz is supposed to be depressed and downtrodden in the scene, but that doesn’t mean eve wants to see rachel feeling that way. during a lull between run throughs of the scene, their typed lines already marked up with colorful notes and reminders, she watches rachel, then finally brings up the subject she’s been trying to figure out how to breach for days.
“what’s wrong, rach?” she asks, her eyebrows furrowed in concern. “did something happen? only buzz is supposed to be sad here, not you too. you don’t have to take the acting that seriously,” she smiles a bit, but it’s a weak joke. she’s only trying to lighten the mood, to show rachel that she’s concerned, but if rachel would rather not talk about it then they can just focus on the scene.
