[ She breathes out slowly. ]

Wow. Mine just didn't care. Like...none of them. I don't think my coach came to a single practice.

[ It's possible...her beloved school was trash. ]

[knifemonopoly]

Well! That's something else. Why coach at all if you don't want anything out of the job?

["Just for the money"? What? He's got no idea what that's like.]

At least you can make it better here, right?

[isawallflower]

[ Fancy private school money. The root of all evil. ]

...At least I can try.

[ Trying's good enough. That's what he said. She isn't so sure about that, if she just causes more harm, but—

Trying's good enough. She hopes that's true. ]

[knifemonopoly]

[He nods. He still thinks trying's good enough. A clawed hand comes up, rests on her shoulder a moment.]

If you want me along, or just want to talk it out, you know where to find me! But I'm sure you'll do fine.

[He believes in her, he's confident she'll find her way through this, navigate hunting for herself and helping others at the same time.]

[ She casts her gaze sideways at him and manages a small, half-smile. ]

Yeah... Yeah, I know. Thanks, Atem. [ For coming with? For the offers? For still being here after everything?

All of it. Just all of it. ]
