Oh, someone I haven't met yet! Hello!
[ wherever rosamund is, a little girl with a doll on her back is waving to greet her. ]
My name's Anise. It's nice to meet you!
[ also i am canonblind, what is going on with rosamund's appearance. ]

[What a precious young lady!]
Hello Anise! I'm Rosamund! It's lovely to meet you as well!
[Beaming brightly!
Also regret to inform you that though she is v beautiful and princessy, she is also a) covered in scars from B) several briars that are growing out of and around her body and c) has a tattered and stained gown that's long beyond hope of repair. Also there's a thorn bow and arrows strung over her back.]
You're making the rounds as well? There's so many people, even with the little guidebook it's hard to keep track of them all.

[ she nods....... but no, her gaze is kind of glued to (gestures at the whole rosamund) ]
Yeah! Um......
Are you okay? You've kind of got... [ gesturing at the briars and stains like she's politely trying to point out that someone has spinach in their teeth. ]

Yes, it does. [A little inevitable, considering what manner of curse it is. Still, there's no point in alarming the young lady. Rosamund pops on a smile and clasps her hands together.] But I'm okay! I've had it for a while, so I've gotten used to it. It's nothing for you to worry about. I'm fine!
[Please believe her.]
...Anyway, how are you finding things here? Have you made many friends?
[Please believe her.]

[ that's not convincing at all, but anise can at least read the room and let her drop it for now... ]
Yep! Lots of people here are really nice! Especially to pretty girls. [ hehe ]

Really? I guess we'll see how things go once we actually have to work together...
[ she expects this group to be messy. in like every sense of the word. ]

[Even if no one's asked her and she doesn't know so many of them so well, Rosamund worries about the younger crew members. It's why she makes a point of tracking the sweet thing with pigtails all the way to the Observation Deck. Rosamund draws close, bow at her back but much less on the warpath than she had been the first time.
There's no clues to find except in places where they can't reach. That's their game.]
Hey there, Anise was it?

[ she looks up and away from the window, pigtails bouncing as she does. and she nods! ]
This is all... pretty bad, huh.
This is all... pretty bad, huh.
I'll say.
[Rosamund draws even with her, putting a hand on the window and taking a look herself. They've never been comforting from this angle, this cold spackling of spots. Planet-side they hold majesty and wonder, but among them she only feels a spectacular loneliness.]
Are you doing okay, though? Have you talked to anyone since you've, um. Since you've heard?

... I'm okay.
I just wonder what's going to happen now... I mean, do you think he was killed by one of us? Like last time?

Hm? Do you mean my roommates? Yeah...
[ well, singular now. ]
[ well, singular now. ]
You're worried about me?
[ her expression brightens at that. ]
I'm okay! I'm really good at dealing with lots of weird stuff like this, so... you know! What about you, Rosamund?

[ a while after eunhyuk's death, and after everyone's cleared out... anise is back at the hall outside the stasis bay, looking in through the window. she could go inside and get a closer look, but... no, this is close enough. ]
...
I'm glad he was still himself, at the end.

Me too.
[Rosamund's having trouble going back in herself. This is the third time she's swung by, deterred by other crew-mates already giving their respects or by her own quaking nerves. At least Anise isn't imposing, and she doesn't feel like she needs to defend herself talking to her. Everything is exhausting and she wishes this day were over.]
I know he was scared about what might happen otherwise.

Yeah...
I really wish there could have been another way...
[ what if he asked for help sooner? what if they put him into cryo-sleep before he got even worse? what if... ]
... I think you did the best you could have, though. Maybe even better than a lot of us could have.

Yes, of course. I worry about everyone.
[Though with a little extra emphasis on the younger set.]
I'm glad to hear it. I'm okay too, thank you, I'm just...making the rounds, so to speak.
[She flashes her a smile.]
What sort of weird stuff is it you deal with?

You think so?
[The laugh is small and rather breathless.]
I've...I've killed before, of course. But this was just...it felt a little like salt in the wound. He didn't want to be alive. Maybe he wouldn't have attacked me if I'd just listened.
[Given him the arrow.
She still thinks it would have been too clumsy, especially if he only did the neck. But maybe he still would have preferred that.]

Unraveling the mysteries of the world, evading mortal danger... that sort of thing!
Maybe it's not on the same level as being on a big futuristic death trap hurtling through space a gazillion miles from home, but like... I guess I don't really have any expectation of "normalcy" in life these days...
