[ It all feels very mother hen of Hilda to be reaching out to everyone like this, but she has to be sure that people are okay for her own sanity. Even if they respond, it doesn’t mean she’ll worry any less, but she can at least have some confirmation that they’re okay for now. ]
Oh my god, I'm totally good! Are you good? Like, not kidnapped good? Everyone here is bugging out, the castle feels like it's on lockdown. You can't go anywhere without an escort. But I'm happy you're okay! If you are okay.
[ The sparkle text is unexpected, and for a minute she worries that Robin's been taken — but then laughter trills from her mouth realizing that no. It's just sparkles. It's such a relief. ]

Did anyone you know get taken? I don't know what other places are like, but everyone here is working to go find them, I think. Actually, it's getting kind of heated.
Oh, sorry! It's like this sign off thing on ( no one knows what walkie talkies are, robin. ) communication device-thingies, so you know when the person's done messaging. I just did it on reflex.

Ha, no kidding. I guess I am, like, totally worried really. But, you know, people here seem really tough. Like ... I mean, crazy tough. I'm from Indiana. It's way out of my wheelhouse. They might be better grouped up than us out here, if you guess they're all together.
You know, I don't really know. ( just admitting you've never been kissed now robin????? how lame can you get!!! ) I mean — pfft, forget I said that. You're right.
[ She's genuinely curious of course, but she thinks, maybe she can help distract Robin a little bit from all the awfulness going on around them, at least a little while. ]
Oh it's ... it's okay! Lots of corn. Very flat. I'm from a pretty small town in there so there isn't much to do. It's one of those places where everyone knows everyone, you know? I work at a movie rental store with my best friend, which is pretty nice, though.
No I meant I mean, I've never been kissed really! Except, I guess, those kisses. Haha. Over.

Oh yeah! The Apartment is great, and Children of Paradise. The Hidden Fortress if you like something a little more action-y. Maybe I could show you some of it in the Horizon sometime? I've never tried.
Oh. ( do people just offer that thing all ... willy nilly? the thought of kissing hilda makes her feel and and a little bit sweaty, and also panicky, but that good kind of panic, like when you reach the top of a rollercoaster just before the fall. on the other hand — it's not like she'd want a pity kiss, or something. the thought is too lame to stand. more importantly, ) You'd kiss a girl?
Totally! There's, like, a huge range. Romance or thriller or horror or action, or anything! You're lucky, I'm definitely like an encyclopedia of movies. We can watch whatever you're into.
Oh
( master of the oh. well. robin's never met anyone interested in girls before — at least not anyone who would admit as much. robin wouldn't even admit as much, and she's about as gay as they come. just, gay from rural indiana and gay from literally anywhere else probably has a different vibe. if anyone ever knew, that'd be it for her. the whole, stay eight feet away and point and whisper. poor robin buckley has an affliction. though, really, her gayness would probably just be the last disappointment on top of a mountain of them, as far as her mom is concerned.
the thought of kissing hilda doesn't really devilish, or mean spirited, or like anyone should say anything about it except for how jealous they are that such a pretty girl might give robin the time of day. but — robin has really only ever had that conversation with steve. she isn't sure how to start it now. )
[ The 'oh' that hangs in the air says more to Hilda than any string of words might have otherwise. Or rather, she thinks it says something. She's never been so confident or arrogant in her ability to notice things about other people; it's always been easier to leave that to people like Claude or people who needed to use perception for something useful.
For Hilda, the realization that she liked girls as much as she liked boys, hadn't come as a large shock to her. There had been no internal conflict, no worry that people would think less of her, because it only stood to reason that her charmed life extended to that part of herself too. She had been lucky that she had simply come to accept it as a fact about herself and that others had too. Fodlan had its faux pas, but the love between those of the same sex wasn't one of them. Not really. But just because she had been so lucky, didn't mean that it was the same for everyone else.
That's perhaps why, when the little 'x' appears rather shyly (could words emote? Even if they can't, Hilda thinks that Robin's 'x' does), is all the more precious and meaningful to her. She senses it's not the time to push the subject so she doesn't — but that doesn't stop her from teasing her. ]
Was it totally lame like is it one of those things that's only cute if you do it because I totally understand like wow how out of character for me I mean like I am definitely not the kind of person who signs off with little kisses like that totally tracks for you because you're all cute and bubblegum pink and a princess or something but I'm more like someone who signs off with "cool dude!" or fingerguns or something more along those lines actually while I'm on the subject do you think it's weird if you sign off exclusively with 'o's like for hugs so it's like less intense than a kiss but also still testing the waters with the know xoxo thing which is pretty you know affectionate which is also not to say I don't feel affectionate towards you I mean I think that would be pretty hard since you're so nice and sparkly and all that but I don't want you to think I'm trying to force my kisses on you you know like you said it's important if the other person actually wants them or
[ The wall of text hits her at once and it takes a moment or two before Hilda can formulate a response because she worries that she's broken Robin. If they were in person or eve in the Horizon, she'd grab her hand or squish her cheeks or something to bring her back down to Abraxas. ]
( maybe she doesn't know. but even saying yes i want to kiss you, hilda makes robin feel skittish, like a cat prone to disappearing at a sound breaking the silence. so, she can't say it. just, 100% off the table in every way shape and form, because robin is not a studdly romancey type, she isn't suave or especially charming, or at all smooth with her affections.
what she can do, is reassure hilda. it is definitely, definitely not her fault that robin is the way she is. )
[ Ah, girls. Hilda knows. Or at least she thinks she does. They pose a different kind of problem than boys do. Except the problem that Hilda has with girls is probably a little different than what Robin is referring to. The worry that she had overstepped lingers, so the reassurance from Robin is welcome. That in itself summons a sprout of guilt in Hilda; Robin shouldn't have to feel the need to reassure her at all. ]
