[ she just needs a minute!!! she slowly climbs to her feet as alex is doing his thing -- setting them all on fire is pretty extreme, but it seems like he's got this handled. he's extinguishing his demons, all on his own. ]
[ it's hard to talk right now, but she shuffles close to him, hand on his shoulder. she's partially bracing herself, partially providing a physical presence. ]
[ when he stiffens and closes his eyes, maya threads her fingers through his hand and squeezes. and whispers: ]
It's okay. It's not her. It's okay.
[ I'm here.. should she do it? would that be less messed up? she would hate doing it -- probably wouldn't even consider it, if it wasn't alex. ]
Do you... want me to do it?
[ though with her track record, clear would probably kick her ass, tbh. ]
