Re: Ruby and Nikita
Nikita was glad to see a genuine smile this time, hoping that Ruby felt a bit better. She knew Ruby being all the way better was asking a lot, but just a bit was better than nothing. There was nothing she wouldn’t do to protect her family; however, she also knew most of the people in her family could take care of herself. The game had put them at an unfair advantage with no weapons or at least nothing useful because a flashlight was not a weapon. At least, not the way the game wanted them to use it. No, if this had been real life, Nikita would’ve had a weapon or made one to survive. It was why even if the whole dying was on her mind, she could put it aside for the moment to talk to Ruby.
“Damn right. If this had been real life, the bad guy would’ve been the one hunted rather than us,” she added with a smile, watching Ruby’s face to see if the girl was feeling somewhat better. There was nothing but time that would get Ruby feeling completely better; however, comforting her would help in the healing process. Though she did hold back on exactly some of the ways she may have killed the bad guy, knowing she didn’t need to freak Ruby out. One thing Nikita was creative once it was a fight for survival, and Ruby didn’t need to know how dark she could get if the need arises. “Just like I also know you would’ve had a hand in taking it down as well rather than being hunted.” Ruby was a fighter and if she was anything like Nikita, she knew the idea of running away was bugging her.
“I have no problem with being stuck with you,” she told her, smiling and she meant every word of that. Nikita couldn’t imagine being without her makeshift family whether it was the one from her world or the one she made around here. Taking Ruby’s hand, she squeezed it back at the comment that Ruby said. “This family watches out for one another, and that also includes your uncle along with some others,” Nikita told her, adding in Qrow considering she loved him like a brother. He was one of her best friends around here. “Now are you wanting to see a different game that doesn’t get one of us killed or want to go grab some food?”
