[ Ruby is only too glad to accept that hug, and everything unspoken that comes with it. Tears bud at her eyes and spill out against Penny's hair, her shoulders shaking gently. It's so good to have the awful discomfort that has existed between them dealt away with, and for the first time since Penny showed up, Ruby really feels...at peace, no longer conflicted about weight of the secrets she's been bearing. ]
I'm so glad you're here, Penny.
[ She can't say it enough, and now Penny fully understands why. ]
[ while penny's hugs are usually a little harsh and uncoordinated, this one is filled with the kind of warmth that only someone with a soul could muster. the emotions between them, previously running high, have relaxed into relief and release of tension. on the floor around them, small beds of yellow roses begin to bloom. ]
I'm glad to be here - with you, and everyone else.
[ glad to be alive, but that much goes unsaid - it only feels right to let ruby cry it out. even if the synthetic fibers of her hair get wet with tears, she doesn't mind. ]
