[Honestly Ruby hadn't expected to just get a call from Eda like this. She had been pretty sure she'd have to wait until she ran into Eda to have this conversation. But it pleasant surprise but there's still a frown on her face when the feed opens up.
She had a feeling something had been up with that, Eda hadn't been talking like herself the entire time. But it didn't make it fully easy to separate what she knew from what she had experienced.]
Hey, Eda.
I uh... Well-Thanks for reaching out. The bubble wasn't super great but I guess we all surv-Or okay that's not right phrase.
But that was weird in general. That wasn't the way someone normally dies here. Do you have any death flu effects?
[Okay her own mind is reeling here as she tries to sort out her thoughts on this.]
Okay. Okay. More importantly, I'm not mad and I'm not going to hold it against you. She wasn't talking like you at all. I know you've got a soft spot for people.
But thank you for reaching out. Apology accepted by you or whatever part of you that was getting used.
[ Blame this new sense of responsibility she has. It's awful.
But at least Ruby doesn't seem that upset. Eda was the one who died, after all. Or at least, that version of her. ]
Yeah, yeah. We're cool. Thanks. You know I don't believe any of that garbage about humans. Maybe I used to, but Luz and the rest of your kids, taught me that was all witch hooey.
[ Eda can admit when she's wrong... most of the time. ]
Nah, no deathflu for me. I woke up in the woods, covered in dead flowers. It was a weird one, but I remember it, most of it. I, uh, yeah. You weren't the only human I messed with, it's just good that you and the witch-hating kid took me down.
[Eda needs an intervention or something to get rid of that. Sounds awful.
But Ruby's super proud of her.]
That was kind of the dead give away that something was up, yeah. That and the bubble but the bubble was just part of that whole deal.
Is that what what all the people in that coven or whatever you didn't want to be apart of back home was like?
[She's trying and that's what counts.
She blinks in thought hearing about the flowers.]
Yeah. When the other you died there was a bunch of flower petals. ...Maybe the flowers did it to you?
Oooof-Sorry to hear that. For you and them... And good luck apologizing them to too.
But you're right. I don't want to think about what might have happened if Ange didn't show up. She's got-Well she's got a lot of history with witches back in her own world. Give her time though, she might come around knowing there's a not so bad one around.
So at least it's not crazy personal with her? Or it is but not like against you or anything.
Eh, some of them. My sister leads that coven. She used to call Luz my "human pet," so. Yeah, actually. Yeah, that is what they're like.
Huh. Y'know, the last thing I remember doing was eatin' a flower. Don't say anything, I've already been chewed out about that one. Hah! Chewed.
[ You know she's feeling more comfortable when she's making bad jokes. ]
Pretty sure it was the flowers. Don't eat them. Bad idea.
Yeah, I know about witch-hater. [ She laughs again, smiling fondly ] I've heard all about it. Really a good thing she came along. No qualms killin' me. You're too nice for that.
