[ Robby doesn't look at Vi's face much. It's mostly her hands, the light orange dusting of cheese flavouring sticking to them where it seems safer. Looks when he thinks he feels her eyes on him, and he'll keep them there if that's what she's looking for, but -- it's hard, too. The story she's telling, the world she's revealing. Robby knows what kind of world this can be, but he sees it in her story: driven senseless by the blood that fuels Trench, and then witnessing the aftermath of it.
He sees blood, more than she even paints; because he can't get it out of his head, people dying, some because of your mistakes, and then you're just left to continue. Resume life, know it'll come back around again, and you're left questioning what you can do about it. You weren't built for this world, but here you are.
How do you know you fit in this world? sits on his tongue, but never comes out. Because there's no other choice than one Robby would never be willing to take. So then he has to be the person who doesn't fear, just like he was taught; he has to keep it in, because every other option leads him to breaking. ]
It's a good idea. [ Her line of thinking, both of them. His words are careful, but trying to be even. Reasonable. He should think like this than anything else. ] Mind if I steal it?
