CW: A sad bunny and a sad teen (some are we even people talk, maybe some cussing)

 

Ash had been a bit disquieted ever since the conversation with Tony, herself, and Renee - Renee was clearly upset about something and wasn't so willing to talk about it for whatever reason. Ash picked up a chocolate bar from the shop and then searched around for Renee. On finding Renee, she held up the chocolate. 

 

"Chocolate and chat? There's a quiet cabin open."

Ash might be a bunny, but for some reason, Renee felt like she was the one walking into a trap. She had been doing her best to avoid people, but Ash usually got a bye.

Maybe she should rethink that stance.

"I don't know what there is to talk about, but sure, why not." Renee shrugged. Her tone was flat and disinterested, but she let Ash lead her in to the quiet cabin anyway. Still, once the door was shut, her eyes flared red--one little inertia lock. If anything embarrassing came out of her--she'd be damned if anyone else but Ash heard it!

[ Ash took a seat and unwrapped the chocolate, offering half of the chocolate. ]

I haven't seen you for a few days, and yesterday you didn't seem okay. I'm worried about you. What's going on?

[afterburner]

Why should anything be going on? Mission's over, we won, everyone's safe, huzzah.

[That was basically a disinterested grumble. Renee accepted the chocolate, but put it aside for the moment--if she held on to it, she'd either melt it or crumble it, and neither outcome was acceptable.]

I don't believe half of what I heard earlier, but whatever.

[bombashbunny]

You've been aloof. Even now you're clearly upset. Something's bothering you.

[ A pause. ]

You don't have to do do it all alone, and you might feel a bit better if you talk about it a little. Please let me help.

[ Her voice changes tone, a very gentle pleading behind it. ]

Everything we say here stays here. Nothing leaves.

[afterburner]

It's not anything important. [Though Renee outright snorts at the 'you might feel better' comment.]

Pretty sure that's a no.

[Stubbornly, she shakes her head.] I can't.

[Can't accept help, can't talk about it, can't let anyone get close again? Probably all of the above, but putting that into words isn't going to happen at this moment.]

[bombashbunny]

[ Ash took all this in stride. She was patient. She would keep trying to scale these walls regardless how Renee tried to knock her back down. ]

It must be something important. You wouldn't be this insistent if it wasn't.

[ Ash wasn't pushy like Tony - she would be patient and calm until Renee either stormed or spilled. If Renee stormed out, this would all happen again. ]

I think you can. Trust is difficult, but we all need at least one person we can talk to. I'm not going to tell anyone, I'm not going to judge you for anything. I just want to help.

[afterburner]

[Renee's voice was flat as she continued.] I cannot stress how unimportant this is. Inconsequential in the scheme of things. Ridiculous.

And no, I can't. Not only do I not want to at all, I can't. I don't care if you were going to tell anyone or judge me. I'm used to that shit, happens all the time. There's just no helping any of it and I have to just fucking get over myself, as usual!

[She was very tempted to throw the chocolate at something, but that'd be a waste of damn good chocolate.]
