           to rest on the head of velour. If anything, she’ll

           do her best to be a welcoming icon to their red

           leader, even if it meant putting even slight yet 

           trivial annoyance behind her. Ruby deserves 

           it, after all ; it’s her words that can untangle the 

           mess of their struggles & plant a seed of hope
