[ Red, for her part, is a little relieved that Cellinia remembers her. She's relieved to see she's safe, if still subject to the absolute nonsense this place likes to throw at them. She's one of the people she'll miss if she gets out of here, she's sure. But she also doesn't know what the gap in her own memory means for her - for going home, for what happens to her, to what all of this means. She tries not to think too hard about it, though. Not right now. It's a problem for the future.
Instead she tries to chase. She wants to make it look at least a little convincing and she's fortunate that apparently Cellinia seems to want to do the same. Although the script, such as it is, is apparently going by the board. The wolf is supposed to run. Instead she turns back and Red slips and staggers and then finds herself on the ground. She reaches up to grapple with Cellinia, finding her close, atop her. Skin against skin, breathing heavy.
Her hands grasp at her - a shoulder, her waist - and she has to take a quick breath and she tries to avoid thinking too hard about what's meant to come after this. To focus on the words. ]
Good enough to have you by my side?
[ The words slide out. She's not quite sure of the mood in her tone, but she puts on a smile. Something confident. Play the heroine. ]
You're impressive enough for me to want you there.
