[That's not a bad thing to agree about. The last thing Emily needs is to be making clothes and such with someone who likes waxing poetic. Ash keeps it under control, and even if she didn't, Emily would tolerate it because it's Ash.
But no one else, holy shit.
At the question, she looks up at what they have left on the table.] We might be short a strand or two. Get more of these, they're perfect.
[ Kate nods, mentally noting that. She's still... not entirely okay going to the caves alone, still finds herself hesitant and feels her breath hitching.
But she doesn't have to go that far in, she probably won't see a monster.
[Things about Kate Emily doesn't know, things about Kate Emily doesn't care about. As long as she gets more pretty rocks for GLacius's sash, she's good.
There's another long silence, and after what feels like hours -- when they're nearly done with what rocks they have -- Emily glances up at her, not quite scowling, and murmurs,] Thanks.
[Emily's response is just a shrug. She doesn't feel like talking anymore, even if she's over being angry at Kate. There's still a part of her that doesn't trust her, doesn't want her too close to her people. This is almost too much to bear as it is.
But the fact that Kate doesn't push earns her points. Emily can work with that, may even learn to trust her. Being Glacius's friend is a point in Kate's favor, and being willing to help out with this project is another good sign.
When they're done, Emily announces she's heading back to the house to eat, then leaves Kate, not even bothering to ask what she'll be up to. For now, sharing a workspace is enough.]

[She really hopes Glacius likes this.]

[That's all Kate will get, at least for now.]
