"There's nothing there. I still had Nona, so all he got was shield. This, though," she lifted the hand from her abdomen to touch at her lips, the jagged little sutures, "and this," the bruise that blossomed along her jaw, "and... this," finally her fingers ghosted over the bandage at her neck.
"All gifts. Reminders."

Rin looked curiously to each and every injury as they were indicated, "He... attacked AGAIN? What the hell is going on?! Seriously. ******** voice got a bit higher than she planned but well, she couldn't help it. Were two of her closest friends genuinely trying to murder each other? WHY?!

Sasha's eyebrows rose slightly.
"Don't.. it isn't worth being upset over. It's.. an outlet, of sorts."
Her expression softened almost imperceptibly.
"One type of outlet, I suppose."

"Maybe, but I swear to ******** if one of you actually manages to kill the other I'm making that s**t even and will be content to stop having friends. Seeing as my luck with them sucks," she physically calmed right back down but mentally was struggling to figure out what Sasha was saying exactly about what was going on. She wanted to know. The not knowing is what freaked her out more. They were trying to murder each other, but it's cool even though they still are? She felt like she missed a very important step somewhere.

"Rin," Sasha fought the urge to laugh, knowing the pain that lurked in wait. She shuffled to the side, reaching forward to pat the edge of the bed.
"C'mere."
She didn't want to see her friend distraught, but Sasha knew that none of it made sense to the other woman. She couldn't explain it.
"Come sit."

Rin popped up on the edge of the bed obediently and peered over curiously at Sasha. Was she going to try and fill her in further... or was the subject going to change? Did she upset the woman by questioning the whole thing? Ugh. Why was life so ******** confusing?

"I don't want to talk about it anymore." Sasha reached out, intent on taking Rin's hand. "I'm not asking you to take sides, or choose me over him, anything like that."
Sasha gave a rough smile.
"We have more to catch up on."
She cleared her throat.
"I ended things with Jerry."

Rin nodded and untensed greatly as her hand was taken. Good. That was all Rin really wanted. Not being in a position to... protect people from other people. She looked curious as the subject shifted and then the bomb was dropped. Her eyes grew three times their normal size. Staring at Sasha, her hand holding her hand, then Sasha again... and... well... conclusions.
She was smiling a bit more tightly as her face flushed brightly.

Sasha's brow furrowed slightly as she drank in the sight of Rin's expression, head canting to the side as she tried to decipher what that flushed face and tight smile could mean.
It hit her suddenly with the grace and subtlety of a train.
That rough smile on her lips spread. Her blue eyes darted down to land momentarily on Rin's lips before they dropped again to land on their joined hands. Rin was one of hers - they'd been through a lot together. Like the others in the lair, the woman that perched on the bed belonged to her. Otto, Ami... Wash.
His smile flashed before her eyes. She frowned.
"I slept with Wash."

Rin looked momentarily disappointed before she realized it and reigned in that look on her face. Smiling again but a falsified somewhat... sad... smile, "Oh." She wasn't sure what else to say to that. Congrats? Was it good? For certain into dudes then? Instead she fell silent.

Sasha wasn't stupid: she liked to think of herself as a keen, intelligent and somewhat cunning woman. She saw the look on Rin's face. It had her pursing her lips, eyes narrowing just slightly.
"Am I a horrible friend?"

"What do you mean?" That much Rin did not understand. Why would... that... make her a bad friend? Rin shook her head, "Um... what? No? I just.. I think I.." She frowned somewhat sulkily, "I think I misunderstood again, is all."

Sasha was quiet for a long moment before she lifted up her free hand to lightly brush against Rin's thick black hair.
"What did you misunderstand?"

Rin leaned into the gesture a bit, "Just don't laugh or punch me, okay?" She didn't wait for an answer before humming and hawing over her words and seeming to finally find them again and say in a tone that sounded more questioning than determined, "I thought you were like... I dunno. Saying you wanted to... uh.. stuff with me. ButIseenowyou'rejustbeingfriendlyokay." By the end she was bright red.

Sasha's smile took on a wolfish glint - rather, as wolfish as it could get considering the smattering of stitches that tugged at her skin.
"Are you saying you still find me attractive, Rin?"
It was flattering, there was no denying it. She'd been foolish before, an idiot.
Things were different now.
"I'm not going to punch you, and I'm certainly not laughing."
