RATATOSKR AND DAWON

[ Somehow, this pillow fort is large enough for everyone, and it seems to block out all sound from outside. ]

I'm not sure why you're even interested in that happening, honestly.

[operation: change subject]

Because I hate seeing pretty girls blind themselves.

It's never a good sign of anything.

You actually remind me of a friend. The prettiest girl I know, and she says things like you.

I do?

She does?

She does. She says she isn't as pretty, says no one would want to kiss her, all these sad things.

And it makes me sad, because it's not true. She's beautiful. She always says I'm so pretty, which I am, but I think she's far more beautiful than I could ever be.

[Tugs at her collar and feels a bit guilty. She didn't mean to remind Roxy about a person (and thus, a universe) that was gone.]

Well....I can see why she'd say that. You really are pretty, Roxy.

And so is she.

And so are you.

[Just goes quiet because it doesn't seem like she'll be able to persuade Roxy to think otherwise....that is, accept the truth of her non-cuteness!!!

this is a valid and normal response to compliments, right??]
