[ She pokes her head up and watches Vriska throw the mysterious object over to her, before reaching over so she can poke at it (quite literally, one finger, just once-- poke. ]

Well.. at least it's not a liability right? [ She doesn't feel any safer with a knife at the foot of her bed after all. It's a sobering thought; to realize that from here on out she'd have to be careful about everything. ]

Um, what you said before. I know that you have to care because we're on the same team, but you've been really nice-- more than you have to be!

[ She stands up and clasps Vriska's hands much like she did in the Longhouse. ]

I really mean it when I say I hope that you can depend on me! And that if you need anything that you'll come to me for help.

[ There's an awful lot of determination in the way she says it. She doesn't even care if Vriska yells or calls her stupid again. ]
