[ It doesn't take a genius to realize the misstep.
He doesn't fight it, doesn't protest it or ask more questions, but Alina can tell it's not something that's been reconciled. Not that she can blame him, it's quite a reveal to be responsible for another person when there is already so much uncertainty and chaos here. She looks down, mouthing an apology that he probably doesn't even see.
She moves on. ]
Yeah. Sam.
[ She nods. He's been nothing but nice to Mal and Alina, giving of his time, domain, and now letting them stay with him so they have a safe place. She feels bad about not trusting him at first, but she's sort of had a bad streak of being a little too open to nice gestures lately.
But there's a web of connections here, weaving together to form something more solid and supportive that makes Alina ease. It's strange, she thinks, not being so completely on your own. She wonders if she'll get used to it. She wonders if she'll ever let herself use it.
Again, bigger questions than can be tackled today. ]
