[She feels like someone else, in a sudden moment. Someone better suited for the apocalypse, or for negotiation, or negotiating in the apocalypse. Someone that can find a home and safety with others. Not someone that only learned to behave socially when accompanied by an emotional support zombie, and who would rather live in a witch hut in the woods (as long as the internet was good). It's safer to listen in as this person, whoever she is, as Teo animates and asks his questions. Very...specific questions, for someone with no memory of his life before.
'I had... a letter... in my pocket... It was all... I had... A blank head and a letter...'
Sara. Sara, who was important and held the answers to Teo's life, if hers was still going. Sara, who wouldn't make guesses in secret, marking pages that could never go back to the way they were before.
'like a full head and blank book...'
Could she go back...?
The character can be excited for him, giving a determined set to her jaw and absorbing whatever information Cecily had to offer them. However, the character isn't ready to deal with Maddy's sudden movement and is thrown to the side as Ryder reacquaints with her own skin, muscles, and bones again so she can launch herself at the other woman. Her voice cracks with a mix of fury and panic. It's too bad. The character this story was made for probably would have taken time to gauge how readily the other two would shoot her for this. Ryder doesn't know how to think, pushed back into the scene while her anchor is under threat.]
Fuck are you doing?! Get off him!
[Touching him wasn't good. An insane whisper of jealousy reminds her that she wasn't even allowed -- but that doesn't matter. What matters is prying the two apart and resisting the urge to sink her teeth hard into Maddy to force her attention onto her alone. Biting probably wouldn't be taken very well, right now.]
Get th'fuck away from him!
[Fuck, she's so weak, though. The years have whittled away at her muscle and more, and she'd thoroughly exhausted herself the day before. Her attempts to separate them and push Teo to freedom is probably laughable, to child soldiers like this.]
