Lark opened one eye slowly, peering at Ben. Her other eye immediately shot open and she released Savior's hand so that she could rush forth and wrap both arms around her familiar's neck.
Ben immediately wrapped his arms around Lark's waist, careful not to scratch her or squeeze her too tight.
"Ben!" Tears were in her voice and dampened the fur beneath her cheek. The familiar gave her a squeeze, turning his gaze to Savior. He would be grateful to the ghoul who had looked after Lark, even if they hadn't gotten along during their first meeting.
"I'm here now, treat. S'me. Ben's here." He patted her back awkwardly before peering at Savior over Lark's shoulder.
"G'day, Savior."

"Ossu." Savior wasn't exactly sure what she'd done but now Lark was leaking everywhere again and the Marrowstripe was not too pleased with that. She'd asked Lark to call Benrpp to prevent the face leaking from continuing but that had backfired, obviously. "Stop leak. Benroo, why leak."
Since Lark didn't seem in the shape to answer any questions perhaps Benroo would explain why Lark was still leaking and stuff. Also by now Savior really had forgotten why she didn't like Benroo much.

Lark finally released Ben, wiping away her tears with the back of her hand. She shook her head and laughed tremulously as she turned to carefully place her hand on Savior's shoulder. She'd hug the ghoul but she didn't want to ruin her vest.
"I'm okay, Savior," she assured the marrowstripe. "Happy tears. Happy leak." Maybe that would help Savior understand. These tears were happy tears, nothing like the ones from earlier. Ben merely stood by and watched the exchange, though he did offer a smile to Savior.
"Silly ghoul," Ben mumbled.

Savior reached over and ran her hand across Lark's face, a really gentle motion coming from a monster who had little to no idea about emotions and comforting. Savior didn't know how to cry, she didn't know how to laugh at things. She knew the concept of anger, sure, but very rarely did she act on it. In terms of anything complicated or complex she simply couldn't fathom it, and so her attempt to help wipe away tears from Lark's eyes was clumsy.
"Gewd, stop leak. Lark pretty." How she learned the word 'pretty' was beyond her, probably something she'd heard somewhere out there among all the students. She'd picked up a few more unsavory words too but she wasn't using them any time soon due to not figuring out context. The fact that Savior knew how to use things in context should have been surprising to anyone (Marrowstripe self included).
So now the Marrowstripe looked over at Ben, wondering what he meant by 'silly ghoul'. Was he referring to her or to Lark, because insults at her generally didn't mean anything and she wasn't sure if they meant anything to Lark. If he had been trying to insult Lark though then Savior might have to take some offense too it, but only because she was trying to stop the leaking. "Who silly."

"Lark is, yeah? All these tears n' such." The roo shook his head and peered into Lark's eyes. Lark just nodded with a wibbly smile. Yes, she was feeling super ridiculous in all honesty, and it was kind of amplified by the presence of Savior even though the marrowstripe probably had no idea what was going on.
"Savior helped me. Made m'realize how silly I was bein'." Lark shook her head. She would have to find a way to do something nice for the marrowstripe, but for now she was feeling entirely exhausted with everything that had recently taken place. It showed in the fatigue around her eyes, the slope of her shoulders. Despite the happy expression on her face, it was obvious that Lark was emotionally wrung out.
"Can't thank y'enough, Savior."

"Gewd jawb." That probably wasn't the best way to response to something but she really was so limited on saying things and meaning what she wanted to say. It was only because she was easy to mimic others that her vocabulary was expanding at all, though sleeping now and then did give her some setbacks if she didn't have a chance to use those words in a conversation.
Perhaps it was because she hadn't been sleeping much lately that most of her memories (and vocabulary) lingered onward. Though now for some reason, that the leaking had stopped, Lark didn't look so good. "Youse kays." The Marrowstripe reached over and placed a hand on Lark's shoulders, Savior's concern a little more than obvious. "Benroo." She looked to the familiar, hoping for an answer.

Ben chuckled and shook his head at Savior. The ghoul wasn't so bad, he guessed.
"Aye, good job," he confirmed, grinning at the marrowstripe. "She'll be right," he continued, confirming that yes, he was okay and yes, Lark would be okay as well. "S'jest a rough go, yeah? First battle'n all. T'be expected, too right. S'okay t'be scared." He patted Lark's shoulder and peered at Savior. "Lark's right, Ben's right, Savior's right."
Everyone was going to be okay.
"Thanks t'ya, Savior." Ben gave Savior a meaningful look. "Fer everythin'."

"Okaies." Savior didn't understand why she was being thanked, but she liked being thanked none the less. It made her feel like she'd done something worthwhile, even though all she felt like she'd done was make Benroo appear somehow. Also, she kept making Lark's face leak which was not what she wanted to do.
"Savior goes." She wasn't saying that she was actually going to leave, she was more or less wondering if she should go. Lark didn't look like she was in any state to continue at the very least.
