He'll be okay.

[polyglotti]

Yeah. He will be.

[She pauses there for a moment, and then she frowns.]

I...don't know what's going to happen tomorrow. I'm worried about people being violent.

[hardrocklife]

You think that's likely?

[polyglotti]

It happened last week. It might happen again, depending on how people react.

It...feels silly to ask, but...if things get crazy, will you keep me safe? I can't exactly fight or defend myself, so...

[hardrocklife]

[he studies her for a few seconds...]

... Yeah. I will.

[polyglotti]

[She breathes a sigh of relief.]

Thank you. It might not get crazy tomorrow, I feel better knowing that you'll be there to help me.

[hardrocklife]

[there's a firm nod.]

Good. Rest assured, I won't let anything happen to you.

[polyglotti]

[She'll smile and lean against Zel's shoulder in somewhat of a playful way.]

I feel safer already.

[hardrocklife]

[oh. he doesn't move, but he glances away.
