I'll survive.

[It's what she's good at. She leans into his embrace and hides her head against his chest for a moment. It's easier. He can't know how much she wants him to be there with her. Because he can't be in more danger. Not because of her.

She looks up, face stoic.]

[frostingdefense]

I'll do my best.

[stillplaying]

[A smile.]

Me too.
