[ Jessica still isn't in the best place mentally, but she's doing her best to focus on what's in front of her. She smiles, even if it doesn't completely reach her eyes. ]
Ahaha, yup! This is basically just a secret hideout for the three of us, now!
[Ruby's quick to catch onto how that smile is a touch forced. She... can only imagine what Jessica might have been through from what Ange has told her about her family. Which admittedly was not a whole lot but she knew the broad strokes of what happened to them.]
Yeah! You know- If you really want we could make a blanket fort downstairs. Watch some movies.
[ It hardly feels real yet, nothing does. But none of this will be easy. She's glad there are people here who can make it a bit less scary, at least. ]
Oh, they have movies here? That sounds fun!
...I'm glad I have those two with me, and you're being really helpful too.
[It was an adjustment. Ruby had been caught up in so much chaos when she first arrived it made her head spin. She can't say it really got easier but she had found a good way to manage that.]
They do! These little omni things have like tons of stuff on them. Do you have any favorites? These things probably have them on it.
We all just want you to be happy and safe.
I know Ange has missed you all so much. I'm sure she's so- so happy to have you here.
[ A lump forms in her throat when Ruby says that. Damnit, not again, Jessie. Why can't you get it together. She can already feel more tears rising to the surface. ]
Thank... thank you, so much.
[ She wipes her eyes, already looking glassy, and somewhat red from crying earlier. ]

I'm glad that... she's finally able to see me.
no subject
She- Well she doesn't know if Jessica knows how close Ruby is with Ange. That Ruby would gladly call any member of Ange's family her family too.]
Me too...
And we're both so glad to have you here.
I know it's not going to be easy, but we're here for you if you need anything.
I promise.

Thanks, I—
I hate to say it, but there's probably a lot that I need.
