[ prison? now there's a simple thought. it's funny how unaware ruby is to the idea that prison is acts as some kind of hindrance to them. if she thinks roman will stay in prison, well. that'll be a fun season 3.

and wow, she loves ruby's naivete. it keeps her young. ]

"Heroic" isn't the right word... "Dutiful", maybe? [ cinder feigns an expression like she really needs to ponder the matter. ] It definitely takes a certain kind of pride to automatically assume someone is in need of your help.

[ which is, again, cinder's vague attempt to enlighten ruby. befriending everyone has it's advantages but also it's obvious disadvantages. it's still a delight to witness how ruby can be so unaware that she is dangerously close to being the fly in cinder's spiderweb (if she isn't already). ]
