    Summary

    Technically, Rumi did promise she wouldn’t lie to her girls any more. But Zoey looked so excited, and even Mira was buzzing, and it was more of a secret than a lie, really, so actually, it was pretty much fine!

    Besides, it was for a good cause. She could deal with her fear of snakes long enough to shoot one teensy weensy conservation advocacy short, right?

    … Right?

    Summary

    "Hi, I'm Zoey! It's so good to meet you!"

    "Mira. Same."

    This was typically the part where Rumi would be expected to introduce herself, but she didn't seem to give a flying fuck about what was expected of her if the way she still just stared even as Celine cleared her throat pointedly said anything.

    -

    "Hey, we got you something from the store last night."

    Rumi squinted between them and the bag. "Why."

    "Because as much as you don't seem to like us, we like you just fine."

    -

    "Well, come on. Aren't you going to bite somebody with those big sharp teeth of yours?" Mira prompted again with a raised brow, shaking Zoey's arm slightly, as if genuinely trying to entice Rumi to take a bite.

    Instead of taking the proffered bait, Rumi turned her head away with a strong air of ‘well now I don't want to.'

    "Thought so." Mira drawled, unimpressed. "Now how about you let us help you inside?"

    -

    Alt take: Repression didn't work baybeee, now it's everyone's problem!

    Summary

    “I’m sorry,” Zoey cut in meekly. “I’m just trying to understand—”

    Rumi whirled to face her, and she flinched back. “I’ve explained this to you before. We have insects that are pests and we have insects that are beneficial. If we let the pests live, they do damage, so we kill them. It doesn’t matter if it’s alive—all of them are alive, but some of them need to die.”

    A study of Rumi and bugs.

    Summary

    But the texture of the couch under her sweating palms scratched violently at something that had always been loose in Rumi’s mind. Something in her fingers clung to the ease of hiding next to these two women. Something wanted to howl but was so deeply buried all it could do was bite at its own flesh. Frustration was clawing at the back of the empty hollow feeling. Normally couch time helped. Normally the laughter started to fill her up again. It gave Rumi something to hold onto until she wasn’t drowning.

    Or

    Rumi had a process. Something that never failed to make her feel better. The girls were never suppose to know.

    Summary

    It wasn't exactly good friend etiquette to make bets about your friend’s potential cryptid-ness. Right? She figured it couldn't have been but then again she wasn't entirely sure what anyone else would have done in this situation. Rumi was hiding something from them and if the two of them decided to make stupid bets trying to guess what it was to cope, that was between her and Mira.
