Em?
( Ah... ha so terrified but hopeful. )

Jules. [ Not doubting it's her, Em walks over her - her boots are rather flat, so they're good for walking. ] Are you all right?

She jumps, and swallows, and then nods in that rigid, tense way. ) Lovely. Perfectly, perfectly wonderful.
( It's not sarcasm. She is just trying to convince herself. )

It's okay. [ To be scared, that is. ]

( But her hand sort of grips over Em's. This is just about the most terrifying thing that has ever happened to her. Her life is sheltered. )
It's just... it's fine. ( And she looks at Em, with a wobbly smile. ) How are you?

I'm okay. Just a little mad. [ Because, really, who wouldn't be angry? It's a frustrating situation and she's lost. ] Do you want to sit down a little?

I think... I would like to get out of the dark. ( Although curling up and hiding somewhere doesn't sound terrible. )

Me too. Come on.

Thank you. ( And she's just going to walk, and... try to hold up her lighter. It isn't really helping very much, though. ) I'm a bit underprepared.

You've um-- been arriving in this place rather longer than I have, haven't you? ( Just going to glance ahead, now, trying to see in the dim light. She wants to ask if she's ever arrived somewhere like this, if things always turn out for the best, if-- ) The decor is rather glum, isn't it?
( Or she could undermine the situation horribly. )
Reply
I think so. [ She looks at her after the whole decor comment, eyebrow quirked up. ] You could say that.

Mmhm. ( Which means Em knows more than her. That's good, because at this moment, she feels like she knows nothing. Nothing at all, nothing remotely of value. )
Maybe with a lick of paint it could be brightened up. ( Sob, okay she's gripping Em's arm. ) You know, become extremely... charming.

Jules. [ Admonishing, but gentle. ] It's okay to be scared.
