Okay, yeah- I know. [ He's right. They have had this conversation before. She's had it with Rafa and Magnus, too. It's not a mentality that will revert overnight, but- She promised. It's just hardest in moments like these to think this is what he really wants. That she's what he really wants.

A sniffle sounds as a tear finally manages to snake it's way down her face. So, she had flubbed things up that badly back then. While they'd made up, Rose still regrets it a little. Maybe he would've proposed sooner, maybe things wouldn't have to be this way, maybe she'd have been able to stop herself from cutting her with her words again. Maybe. Or maybe they would've ended up right here still. ]

I was just stupid, [ she says to that. ] I made a mistake and they were looking for it. [ Otherwise, she was too advanced for most of them to imagine taking her down alone. But they'd found a weak spot - her fear of spiders - and exploited it by guiding her to walk right into the web of one. It was such a stupid, little thing that could've gotten her killed. It didn't, but-

It'd definitely been close. Too close for comfort. ]

I could last there now that I know their tricks. I'd be fine. [ She doesn't sound as sure as she's hoping. And if she isn't convinced, how can she expect he will be too? ]
