[...]

You were all drinking, weren't you?

It could have been anyone's cup, taken at random.

[misstrust]

It could have been.

... But I should have been more careful.

[ And she'd nearly died for it. ]

[showyourself]

Perhaps. But I was the same. I served hot chocolate to everyone at the inn.

My fingerprints were on everything. I don't think you could have done anything differently.

[misstrust]

... Well, I can't deny that people are probably going to be incredibly suspicious of me, regardless.

[ There's a bittersweet smile lingering on her face. ]

[showyourself]

I suppose.

But considering how few of us there are, I think some people are going to look at everyone suspiciously, don't you think? Even I was voted for, after all.

Don't let it weigh on you, Dorothy. You know you're innocent, and that's the most important thing.

[misstrust]

... Thank you. I'll try not to let it hold me back this next week... though maybe I'll just stay in with my roommate if that works out.

[showyourself]

If that works out. [she repeats it, and looks a little sad. dorothy does't strike her as the... thirteen years in the same room kind of person.

...]

It would be nice if we were roommates, wouldn't it?

[misstrust]

[ Dorothy is certainly not the type, Elsa is right. But she laughs with a nod. ]

It would be nice! Imagine all the gossip we could have.

[showyourself]

Oh--gossip? I'm not sure I can help you much, there. Who would we gossip about?

[misstrust]

Everyone! You've got to have opinions, right?

[ Dorothy is simple. ]

[showyourself]

Well...

Everyone is very nice. I haven't really met anyone I would consider a bad person...

[misstrust]

And anyone you find attractive?

[showyourself]

[?!!?!!?!?!?!]

Oh! No!

--I mean...! [she's flushing. why is dorothy LIKE this.] I don't... I think everyone is attractive in their own way, don't you...?

[misstrust]

[ I'm so sorry Elsa ]

Well, no... I think they're all interesting, but for example, I don't really look at the kids and think that they're anything other than cute and sad.

[showyourself]

Of... Of course, no, not attractive attractive... attractive! [AAAAAAAAA]

I don't really... look at people like that. Ahaha. [it's the most clearly pronounced "ahaha". as if she's just saying it instead of laughing it. because she is. ahaha.]

[misstrust]

[ Dorothy is pausing mid-bite of fruit to just-- kind of laugh. ]

You're very pure, aren't you? That's admirable!

[showyourself]

Pure? I'm not sure what you mean by that...

[she's kind of mesmerised by dorothy and her fruit at the moment.]

I don't think I'm particularly pure, though.

[misstrust]

[ Elsa please. ]

You have a different way of viewing people, at least. I wouldn't call it a bad thing.

[showyourself]

I don't know. I'm not sure anyone would call themselves pure...

...You are, though. You're very sweet, Dorothy.

[misstrust]

[ Dorothy has to laugh again, more wearily now. ]

I'm not. But thank you anyway for saying that.

[showyourself]

See? No one's good at compliments.

I can only judge on what I've seen. And... you're good. To me, at least.
