[this hug is more than she ever would have gotten before, this hug is real, this hug is something... something she's needed for so long, and she hasn't had time for the alcohol to hit her system yet so she guesses the warmth inside her is just from the feeling of being genuinely, truly cared about. for the first time in so, so long. too long. Emerald's hands shake, and it takes her another couple seconds before she's hugging Chandra back, and her fingers press against her too firmly, too much, she's. she needs this. she needs this so badly.]
[she's pathetic.]
I know. [is she replying to Chandra or herself?] I'm... thinking way too far ahead right now. I need to calm down. [she needs to figure out how to shut everything back down before she starts crying. she sniffs, and it's not a sniffle yet but it's, like, right there.] This is why I don't talk about myself.
