[ ... she thinks about saying sorry to pressure you doing trial or thanks for telling me your item, but unfortunately that sounds. awkward. so she just doesn't. ]
I'm fine. But I think I'm just about ready to call it a night.
[getting grilled about her arm aged her, though she's grateful she didn't have to get doxxed. she will not bring it up though, because that also feels weird.
after a beat:]
Hey, just to make sure... You're not sick or anything, right?
[her eyes flicker to the tattoo when she sees the letters change from the corner of her eyes, but she immediately looks away. she ain't seen nothing, just like i have not seen any typos. it's fine.]
I just wanted to know if it's something we needed to watch out for. To help you.
[oof... ashlyn is not in for a good time considering how loud some of the others can be. please save her.]
Um... Thanks. I'll keep that in mind. And if you need someone to tell people to shut up, or just to find something else to muffle the noise, you can let me know.
[it's fine. she's not being any less tactless than the boy she has a whole ass crush on when he asked about it. she seems a bit more comfortable talking about it when there aren't like 40 other people in the room, anyway.]
Um. A boy from school broke into my apartment and cut it off.
... Yeah. Things have gotten worse lately, but even before that you had to be ready to run from a sudden devil attack whenever. It's how most people die.

Hey, if you ever need help bandaging your arm, I'm good at that kind of thing. I can wrap it better than if you're stuck doing it yourself.
[ probably other people already offered to help too, but still. they're like roommates, so this seems like it would be more convenient, maybe. ]

It makes sense for people to be yelling at a time like that. It's annoying, but I can't totally get mad about it. [ yes she can.
anyway, tactless: ] What happened to your arm?
