It has been a long few weeks, but Emma can't deny how grateful she is that she hasn't had to face those weeks alone. It hasn't been perfect, she knows that. Mostly because she's a mess, and she knows that too. She can't help but try to hide the worst from her friend, because no matter what Ruby says she doesn't deserve the burden that she knows her curse offers.
She keeps the dark tilt to her thoughts to herself, even if on occasion they escape in whispers. She doesn't talk about how the desire to use her magic is a constant struggle, and how it's often dark magic that calls to her most. The fact she hardly sleeps is something Ruby can't quite miss when she has the hearing of a wolf when Emma slips out every night. Still, having Red with her has helped her immensely, from someone to help scrounge together enough money to have dinner at night or someone else just as lost as she is.
Honestly, having someone she trusts is worth more to her than anything else. Emma is far too used to facing things on her own. The companionship Red gives her keeps her together more than the brunette's desperate attempts to take care of her, which seems ironic when she's immortal at the moment. Having a friend is what makes her feel a little closer to human, when most of the time it's easy to feel like a monster.
She can't be the best company lately, either, yet Red does not seem to let that slow down her antics. And today it has even earned a laugh, Emma shaking her head as the quickfooted brunette jumps from rampart to rampart, despite the fact it is setting Emma's mom senses off like crazy. "I know you think you're cute, but it's freezing and icy and you could fall and break your head open and then what are we going to do?" That's probably the mommest thing she's ever said, and that included the year that all she remembered was being Henry's mother.
