Re: Venturing out into the world: Marta / Seven
[Marta has stayed back, closer to the rear of the truck with Devi's leash wrapped around her wrist. The dog is doing her best to explore as far as the leash will stretch, but Marta stands stock still, like her feet are planted into the ground. She looks up, almost startled, at Seven talking to her, like she doesn't even expect him to be directing questions at her, more used to his low monologue directed only at the baby.] What?
[Her expression stays surprised as she looks where his gaze indicates, not at all confident that she can help him. She looks down at the dog next, trying to figure out if she can balance keeping Devi close while also helping Seven.] I don't know... [It comes out as a whisper, along with a shake of her head, but she does take one step forward. It catches Devi's attention, who then takes the lead to tug Marta closer, close enough that she can snuffle at Seven's shoes when she pulls the full length of the leash. At that point, Marta's finally close enough to nod slightly and take that last step. She uses her one free (non-leash) hand to reach out for the fabric, careful not to touch Seven or the baby. And as Seven lowers the baby into the wrap, Marta is quick to take a step back again.]
