[ jade doesn't know if anyone listens to them when they talk. this has struck her recently, and as loathe as she is to admit it, it's a possibility they have to consider. so when she rouses ruby in the middle of the night with her good arm, it's accompanied by flashing lime green text via their telepathic link. ]
[ sleep isn't coming nearly as easy to ruby as it normally does, but any sort of rest is welcome. she had managed to drift off for a couple of hours before jade rouses her, the green text flashing making her shut her eyes tight in reflex. ]
wha no not since yesterday
[ her thoughts are a little scrambled from sleep, but as she rubs her eyes and begins to wake up, jade's worried expression registers with her. ]
[ that's definitely strange. ruby had noticed the ring before (thanks to its pretty pink gem), but also isn't aware of any properties it may have. as far as ruby knows, madoka is as normal as she is. ]
no, i understand i don't like it when there's nothing i can do to help madoka-san is my friend and she's a lot stronger than me i just want her to be ok
you are much stronger than you are giving yourself credit for being stronger than someone else does not mean a thing in the end what matters is being strong yourself!
[ ruby has never considered herself to be a particularly "strong" person. she'd reserve that kind of description for people like dia or chika - they could be leaders and step up even when times got tough. an opinion like that from someone like jade means a lot. ]
but i feel like i don't really know how to be strong
i dont think theres a definite way to be strong in fact i think it would be more than a little tough to explain the concept to someone who doesnt know about it :P it is very abstract! but in my opinion strong just means you have not given up and you havent give up no matter what i can see that it doesnt matter what they do to you....you are always here and supporting me and riza so that to me says you are strong!
[ as much as she wants to believe it, ruby isn't so sure that what jade is saying is true. she's silent for a moment as she wonders if she does want to talk about it.
she decides that she does. ]
you and riza-san come from amazing places she's a soldier and can do... um... [ there's a pause in her text as she struggles to remember. ] elchamy? i think
[ that's definitely wrong, but she's too tired and emotional to think on it more. ]
i don't know about your world but you have dog ears! there isn't anything or anyone like that where i come from i just went to school and did my homework and lived with my parents and my sister... becoming a school idol was the craziest thing that ever happened to me i've never had to think about something this scary before
