If we can find a place like that. Yeah. Let's do something for them. Anything.

[physalia]

All right, then. We shall see what we can find.

[She adds, her voice gentle but firm:]

[ not that big of a deal? as if anyone would believe that. ]

I'm not that fragile, you know? [ they smile, in an attempt to reassure her. ] But okay, where do you wanna go?

They nod. ]

We can go to the park. There’s a place to sit down there.
