ESTABLISHING LIFELINES; ( kim dokja, yoo joonghyuk, set )
[ while Rudbeckia may have decided to throw her meagre lot in with Meridian in the near future, that doesn't change the fact that faction alignment is almost useless to her. she'll never be able to have that kind of camaraderie; zealotry isn't a trait in her acting repertoire, and it has too many risks besides. she can't be a believer, she can't be useful to the cause, she certainly can't imagine anyone ever accepting her. that's simply the way it goes. rather than a faction, what she needs is individuals.
and that's something she's plenty experienced in. nobody will ever be on her side; the only way to survive is to be so fervently, hopelessly devoted to somebody else that it becomes worth keeping her around, as a simple resource if nothing else. she learnt her lesson with Iske; she was too greedy last time. if you let a stray dog into your home out of pity, it's only natural to throw it out when it starts sleeping on your bed. she won't make the same mistakes again.
hence she insists, cheerfully, to the companion she is exploring the castle grounds with—the lifeline she has chosen to test, to see if it will hold her pitiful weight— ]
You can use me for anything you need to. I really mean it! [ however she got here, whether they found her trembling alone somewhere, or she begged to accompany them and be of some use, it turns out the same: Ruby follows wherever she's led without any complaint or questions of intent. ] I would just give you the Sand, honestly, but at least this way, you don't have to waste your strength if there's anything you want to unfreeze now...
