[Oscar heaved a sigh as well before casting her an understanding look. Deerington had thrown them all through the ringer, and there as no reason to expect that Trench wouldn't.
That, and people were unpredictable at best.]
Ruby helped me at least trust that the right thing would happen... and if it didn't, that we would all be able to work together to put it right, even if we're separated.
I trust you, and the others in our house. That's more than enough to set the stage for things to go right this year.
[ There's a kind of cynical part of Ange that almost wants to ask if they didn't live together this way too around the same time last year - even if it was in a slightly different configuration, involving people who aren't here right now, and excluding some people like her who didn't live there yet. That it might not be enough to stop anything from happening.
But.. Oscar is right. She should have a little more faith, even if having faith is both difficult and terrifying in its own way. ]
I trust everyone too.
[ It's the first thing she tells him. Because she at least wants that to be clear - since it's true, no matter what. ]
I'm also trying to get more powerful and capable to help protect everyone. I guess we're all trying to do that in our own ways.
[Oscar sighed-- feeling once more that perhaps he was more of a burden on his friends in the event of a crisis. As it stood, he was able to protect himself but offer little else in a full scale fight... at least, on the ground. The weapon Ruby had forged for him was a blessing, but Oscar was not even sure if he was skilled enough to be worthy of the weapon at times.]
We've just gotta support each other in our efforts, though. We're a Team, after all.
I mean, I'm.. not really as used to the concept of teams as you guys are in your world.
[ Though even as she's saying it, she figures that it probably doesn't count as much for Oscar either - he hadn't gone to the same monster hunting school that Ruby and the others did, huh? Ange isn't even too sure if he got to be part of a team like that back home - she's never really heard him talk about it, at least.
But even if it might not exactly be like in the same sort of team structure as Remnant likes to have-- ]
I guess calling it being a team isn't all that bad, if the idea of helping each other out no matter what is the same.
