[ She's so shocked, she's forgotten all about being angry. At least for the moment. Lucretia just stares, speechless.
She'd never considered there might be another way. She'd always been so certain her plan would work, no matter what everyone else always said. When Lup had revealed that they'd beaten the Hunger, it had only reinforced her belief that she's always been right. About that, at least. And now that's gone, too.
Putting her shield around the Hunger. Isolating the enemy, instead of themselves.
Maybe if she'd shared her idea sooner, instead of working on it alone and in secret for decades. Maybe if they'd all worked together to come up with a plan, rather than just pitting one against the other. ]
I didn't know.
He never
He didn't tell me.
[ It would have been so easy for Taako to throw that in her face, the moment she'd arrived here. You didn't save anything, Lucretia. It was my plan that saved us all.
[it would have been so easy, maybe even justified to throw that in lucretia's face, but even in his hurt, taako has never been one for cruelness. and that would have been terrible.]
[shes not the only one who hates this, but lup's not willing to discuss it more right now. not when she feels so cold, guilt and hurt pushing hard into her chest, lucretia's words searing against her skin.
of course there's truth there. lup knows they fucked up, knows she personally caused the deaths of so many innocent people. but to have that thrown in her face by someone she trusts and loves so completely? she just needs to backtrack a little before she explodes.]
[ The lie is so transparent, she knows she's not even supposed to fall for it. It doesn't matter. It's an excuse, because Lup is done with her, because she doesn't want to talk to her anymore. Lucretia's heart seizes painfully in her chest. This is awful, it's horrible, but being alone is worse. At least Lup is talking to her. When they're not taking awful digs at each other. When they're not making everything worse. She can't even be upset with Lup for bailing on her, not after what she'd said. So she doesn't argue.
It feels cliche and pathetic to go off and crawl back into bed, cry herself right back to sleep mid-morning with all the curtains drawn. But Lucretia's so miserable, she doesn't even care. ]
