[ well probably to be completely honest, she's a hundred times more accepting of texas calling her insane and disgusting than cute. she'd just about agree with that more so than anything close to cute. actually the fact that texas is looking at her like this and being oddly... maybe there are times that lappland just about thinks if they could even have a somewhat cordial conversation, she should be happy enough with that. and in some ways, she is.

it's just reality that it doesn't go beyond that, and she knows it. ]

[ like busting into a courtroom. texas put on trial was rather entertaining, but... maybe she can't help it, maybe it's just completely unavoidable or not even an option for her not to help texas or do anything for texas. she simply does it. she'd barely consider anything otherwise. it's not even exactly a matter of sympathy, it's just the secret she buries like a body in an unmarked grave in her chest. ]

And who bought you at auction? [ just. wondering. ]
