( the couch in the vicinity of where they stay is taken. Astrid lay there, curled up tightly with a pillow in her tight grasp. mumbling some unknown cursings under her breath. )

If it’s the best way to become a more valuable asset to the family, i’m willing to do anything. You won’t have to worry about a thing, Don.

( Yet, it seemed no glee came from this. Just a sense of acceptance, with a small nod of confirmation following her words. )

I’ll make you proud, +

°•He thinks, then nods•°

If you really believe you have to prove yourself, i can offer to take you into rounds with me. There is no other way to exactly "prove" yourself here. Other than hunting down the survivors in the rounds.

( Deep blue eyes glanced up for a moment. A moment which should’ve been honest, but .. seeing the other move so suddenly made light jolt slightly. Unintentionally.

The gaze falls back onto her own hands. )

The situation the other day made me think. In a lot of ways. And it’s made me +

I like my room. It’s comfortable.

And they have more right to spend their time there , it’s really nothing to concern yourself over.

( Her head raised, yet their eyes didnt meet. One hand gripping the other in front of her body. )

Astrid, look at me.

°•His voice was demanding, with a hint of concern and care•°

You know the others hang out in my room. A lot. Just not you, recently. Why?

( A lack of eye contact. And a lack of confidence despite her attempt at proper posture. )

Coincidence, perhaps. We just, um .. haven’t crossed paths. In a while.

( Looking up , and actually LOOKING at the person in front of her. It’s almost as if there was a moment of consideration. A moment of thought.

But she shook her head, slightly waving off the concern with a bit of a smile. Staying curled up and close to herself. )

No. I’d … rather not.
