Script smiled at her a little weakly, but shook her head, standing up and hugging the taller girl, biting her lip.

"How are you?" Footsteps asked, hugging her tight and then stepping back to look at her seriously. "I can't thank you enough for what you did...but the reason you did it never should've happened." She looked at the floor. "We should've found a way to help you. I'm so sorry, Script."

She shook her head. "No, 'Steps. It wasn't your fault. Nobody coulda' known what was gonna happen. I'm--I'm okay. Really." She smiled at her, but it didn't quite reach her eyes.

She gave Script a thoughtful look. "I'm not asking you to spill your heart out, love. I know we haven't known each other very long...but sometimes that makes it easier, you know? If there's anything you want to talk about." She offered her a reassuring smile. "I know I can go on and on sometimes, but I'm a pretty good listener too."

She sighed, chewing her lip. "There...just been a lot going on. Sebastian...well, that whole thing has completely imploded, and I'm made a mess of things. And--and I got myself into some...trouble."

"Trouble?" She looked at her with concern, sitting down on a nearby bunk, then glanced at the door and had to smile briefly because Cav was still hovering outside, being all discreet.

Script sat beside her, frowning a little, looking at her lap. She hadn't told anyone except Skittery and Goblin. But she trusted Footsteps.
"Trouble...as in...as in 'that girl's in trouble...'" She hope she'd get the hint. It hurt to use the real word.

"Oh!" Footsteps gasped, and closed her eyes briefly. "Oh, dear Lord...I'm so sorry, Script." She took her hand impulsively, not pushing for more information, not asking whose the baby was--though there were several possibilities, some far more horrifying than others--or whether she'd decided what to do about it. She just said, "You're going to be all right. You know that, don't you? You've got people who care about you, who'll get you through this one way or another...you're going to be fine."

Her bottom lip trembled, but she only nodded. "I know...I--please don't tell anyone. I mean, I'm sure you'll talk to Cav, and that's fine, he won't say anything...but don't tell anyone else."

"Not a soul," Footsteps promised, squeezing her hand, then gave her another thoughtful look. "But if you're badly upset about it, love, or anything else...you've got to push through it, you know? Push through it and take charge. Figure out what to do about all the things on your mind. I know it's hard, but it's the only thing to get you out of the funk, really. For me, anyway." She blushed. "Do let me the know the moment you'd rather I stopped talking."

She smiled at her, squeezing her hand right back. She didn't realize how much Footsteps had really meant to her. "Thank you. I--I know it'll all work itself out, in the end. It's just the meantime that kinda sucks."

She nodded sympathetically. "I know what you mean. Just know that I'll be there if you need me--whether I end up here or somewhere else in this mad city of ours. If you need anything at all, even just some advice or a listening ear..."

She moved to wrap her arms around Footsteps, resting her cheek on her shoulder. "Thanks, 'Steps. Really. I'm glad you're here."

Footsteps gently hugged her back. "I'm glad too," she whispered, glancing over at Cav again.

Script smiled sadly. "Go, 'Steps. Don't worry about me. He's been waiting a long time for you."
Cav met 'Steps' eyes, itching to touch her again.
