More than anything, Julie hates when people walk away from her. Turn away from her. Dismiss her. She feels the sting of abandonment like a knife in her chest, doubly so because this time she really tried. She really, truly tried to be a good friend, a good mentor, a good whatever to Abby.
The edges of her vision are getting fuzzy. Heat builds in her face.
Oh, you can't hear me, can you?
Julie's fists are clenched at her sides, shaking. She doesn't want to explode, doesn't want to take it all out on Jaskier or his shop, which she is suddenly keenly aware contains a myriad of extremely breakable things. Despite her efforts, there are... signs.
Water starts to crackle frozen in the vases around her. A few plants around the store begin to wither (they'll recover). It's a testament to how far she's come that nothing bursts into flame.
How 'bout I try somethin' a little louder! ]
Fuck her. She can fend for herself from now on.
[ Though her voice holds strong, Julie herself is trembling. Her mind is racing, trying to come up with what will make her feel any better without also being violent. ]
