It's okay, (Lucretia soothes, gently putting an arm around her. She can feel that unbidden, upset energy bubbling beneath Lup's skin; she lies her palm flat on her back and rubs in little, comforting circles.)
You have me. And when we get to the, uh... the other me, we'll just take it one step at a time. (She is essentially walking Lup though how to deal with her terrible betrayal. It's a strange feeling, like having an out of body experience.)
We're a team, you and I. And Taako, no matter... no matter what. (She huffs a sigh, hiding her frown in Lup's shoulder. She'll definitely have to make nice with him after this, huh.)
Uh huhβ (this last bit comes out a little strangled, but only because Lup is holding her very tightly. She pulls back, freeing herself with a soft chuckle.)
Heyβ don't cry, okay? (Lup still looks a little fragile, just about the edges. Lucretia gives her a little pat on the shoulder, squeezing it in solidarity,) or you're going to make me cry.

...it is not now, though. Right now, she's busy hugging Lucretia close and probably squishing her.]
A team. You, me and Taako.
[A smaller team than they were used to, but a damn good one.]
No matter what.

[Lup leans back and dabs at her eyes with a groan.]
I'm so tired of all these emotions, Luce. I'm not having any for at least a few cycles after this place.

(She exhales hard, then drops her shoulders, and smiles tentatively.)
Friends?
