[Duchess' behavior definitely throws Lydia. She reaches for the bunny with her free hand, trying to comfort her. It's almost as if she's-- afraid of Allison? Almost as if she also feels what Lydia is feeling. Like something isn't quite right.
Then she focuses on Allison. She listens to her talk and she can't bring herself to smile when she mentions the dresses. It's good to see her lighter, but not knowing what's different is bothering Lydia a lot. She hates not knowing things. Especially when it comes to the people closest to her, especially after everything they've been through.
Just Allison mentioning home is enough to make her tense. She had been hoping she'd change her mind about going back there. And the mention of Oak Creek makes her stomach turn and her face pale. She wrote to her. She explained all of it, she told her where she was, she told her she was okay the whole time. That she'd been trying so hard to keep her away the whole day.
But she went anyway.
Again.
And despite having her sitting right there in front of her, with her hand in hers, Lydia hates where this is going.]
Allison. [She suddenly remembers all the things she wants to say, all the reasons why she's been so incredibly mad at Allison for going. But she holds back for now. She'll let her finish her story first.
