[ she nods in response to riza's words reaching out to give jade a pat on the head. it's gentle (weak), hoping to give her some sort of comfort. ]
Resting is good. We can look out for you... at least for a little while.
[ the words "just a little longer" make her go quiet, though. she looks down, biting her lip and rubbing at her eyes to avoid making it look like she's crying. ]
[ she watches ruby pat at jade's head, nodding and stepping over to grab the blanket from the bed and moving to set it around jade's lap. ]
And if you do fall asleep, we'll wake you if something happens.
[ she feels her stomach drop lightly at ruby's question, moving to set a hand against her shoulder. trying to be comforting, but also just to provide something close to a grounding touch. ]
Not long. They just need a little more time to make sure the plan is full proof. They'll come for us.
[ she's careful to pull the blanket closer when riza places the blanket over her. briefly - she consides if the others are receiving this kind of support from their cellmates. jade's lucky. the blanket is warm and kind, and the way they're both so gentle with her is refreshing. it makes her feel like she can do this - she has been. ]
Are you sure? I don't want to leave you both alone.
[ jade leans into ruby's touch, like a puppy seeking out more affection. her ears twitch, and there's a little grunt from the back of her throat. it'd be embarrassing if jade had any sense of shame, really. ]
Your sister will not leave you here, Ruby! You know that. It is tiring but soon. It will be over.
