Quinn let herself calm down, and slow down, as soon as Besca rested her arms on her back. Nothing, [i]nothing,[/i] calmed her down quite like hugging Besca. Her shuddering breaths relaxed into something...well, [i]more[/i] stable, at least, and the arms around Besca loosened so that they weren't shaking with how hard they were gripping. Besca was there. Besca was there. Everything was...well, not [i]okay,[/i] but better than it could've been, and didn't that matter a whole lot these days?

Finally, at that level of calm[i]ish[/i], she managed to listen to Besca, and really appreciate what she said. Go back to the dorms, and just...rest.

...Rest sounded really good, right about now. Maybe if she'd rested before she'd given a statement, she wouldn't have--

[i][color=ffe63d]Don't think about it, remember?[/color][/i]

It wasn't going to be [i]easy[/i] to shut the thoughts out, but she would do her absolute best. Because she [i]had[/i] beaten a lot of monsters. And she [i]had[/i] come home. No matter what, she had to remember that. Maybe she wasn't--

[i][color=ffe63d]Nuh-uh, don't think about it. You're alive! Everyone's alive![/color][/i] So she finally pulled away from Besca, wiped her eye, and tried to manage a shaky smile. "[color=ffe63d]Uh-huh. I'll...I'll try.[/color]" With that, she aimed her way at the door Besca had pointed to, turned around one more time to look at the two of them, and slid out.

Eyes followed her. She was being stared out. She dropped her head and moved quickly, ignoring the occasional heckles or questions. She moved quickly and quietly out of a sense of both guilt and fear, and it wasn't long until she arrived at the dorm. She left the TV off, went to flop down on the couch. 

She paused, then moved past it to one of the dorm doors, which--after some hesitation--she knocked on.

"[color=ffe63d]Hey, Roaki, can I come in?[/color]"
