Pulls away, wiping a bit at her eyes with her sleeve (kindly don't notice.)

"Don't worry. I'll be... functional for. You know. The mission."

[palfriday]

... Good luck.

[and she sounds like she means it.]

[decohere]

"Do you know if the Captain has asked... anyone to attempt it before?" Like how much luck is she needing because she operates at a net negative here.

[palfriday]

[a pause... then, she shakes her head.]

[decohere]

A bit of a surprised 'hm.' Well at least this isn't a many have tried and all have failed thing.

"He's placing a lot of trust in Skulduggery, then."

[palfriday]

... More than I think he thought he could, really...

[decohere]

"A lot of us do. He's special," Ava smiles weakly.

"And the rest of us are... disposable," she glances down. So many that have faded away for being too weak, most of them already forgotten. Her first roommate and Conan and Lucy who she never got to attempt apologizing to... "Could I... ask you for something else?"

[palfriday]

[a nod]

[decohere]

"Maybe... a list of their names? It seems wrong, to pretend they never existed at all."

[palfriday]

... If it would make things easier for you, you could try...

[personally... there's too many names. it simply isn't practical.]

[decohere]

"But I can't... I didn't even know most of them..." and maybe that adds a bit to the guilt.

[palfriday]

Well, then... find people that did! And you can talk about them, and say their names... and then it's like they never left at all!

[decohere]

Ava winces at the suggestion, because it's the most reasonable and obvious one. But she doesn't like talking to most people on a good day, which this very much isn't, so she anxiously shakes her head at the idea of it.

"Maybe... Stede can. He's good at that sort of thing." But she'll probably come around to it later.

[palfriday]

... You could be good at it, too!

[no she will not explain]

[decohere]

A doubtful sort of nod, she finally turns to leave for the abandoned bedroom and the heavy task of salvaging something from it. But then pauses, glancing back over her shoulder.

"Has there ever been... a version of me? Here before?"

[palfriday]

[cocks head]

I'd give a bit more thought about whether you think you're able to handle any potential answers to that question!

[decohere]

"I appreciate your concern for my current emotional state. But I can handle a lot more than anyone thinks." A slight narrowing of her eyes in thought. "Unless that's an implication you've seen evidence otherwise."
