[even though she understands what milla means, she doesn't say anything about it. it's not like they had really wanted elle around when there was danger, but she also knows that she's important to the things ludger can do, somehow. she doesn't really understand it all that well, but they were partners, and they needed each other. so of course she couldn't just stay behind while everyone else was working towards something so important to her.
still though, she's a kid and all of that exertion is a lot for someone who really never traveled any further than from her house to drellin—which had been rare enough as it was. it's drained her a lot, as much as she's kept up a brave face and insisted she was fine as much as she possibly could.
that doesn't happen this time, though. she clings to milla pretty tightly as she's taken to ludger's room... his bed is comfortable, far more so than the couch. but there are more important things to address right now.]
...My daddy always made me soup when I was sick before. [in a way, this totally is a trick for more soup, but only because this is the absolute truth. victor always made her soup, and she's never gotten over being sick without that before.
okay, and maybe at a time like this, she also really, really misses him. it's a lot easier to deflect to the soup than to pour her heart out to milla about how she feels so miserable right now and not having her dad around just makes it worse.]
