Is This Where You Wanna Be? Crawling On Your Hands and Knees?
[In a perfect world, Maya would have been able to isolate herself for the rest of the evening. It's not like her to wallow in her feelings, but it's also not like her to be trapped away in a murder school or part of an execution so... not like she has much choice there. Besides, between the influence of Janis, and the sight of her remaining dormmates, it's clear that Maya simply can't... let things go.
It's like she told the SQUIP. They look to her for hope. And so, hope she must be. It's her job to stand tall for the others. Thankfully help comes easier this time -- there's no need to scruff Discord, or try to keep Spongebob from making Hate Patties. Maybe that, in and of itself, is a good sign.
It's just another fluke. They'll be okay. They're together, after all. Even Salieri and Discord are getting along well enough to help.
Cutting potatoes proves to be an interesting task, considering the fact that most of the knives are missing. Maya has a few guesses as to how that happened, but she won't point fingers again today. She makes do with what she has -- two swords between her and Cassandra.
Potatoes, cakes, pies -- the arrangement is much the same. There's even cocoa (made by less experienced hands, unfortunately), and alcohol. It all feels like a repeat of last week, but she's trying to not think about it. She does her best to keep a smile on her face as she knocks on each door, inviting others to the cafeteria once more.]

[LSP looks not great. Eyes puffy and red, it's pretty obvious she's spent most of her time since the trial crying. ...If that weren't easy to guess anyway.]
You still think princesses should learn to swordfight and junk?

It's never too late.
[Don't worry, Maya'd got her spare rapier on hand still. She goes to pick it up and hand it over.]
Unless you don't think a sword is your style?
no subject
[She'll sort of gingerly take the rapier, though.]
no subject
[Alright, Rapier it is, then.]
Do you know anything about fighting at all. Other than throwing knives, of course.
no subject
[Simple right]
[She gives an experimental swing of the rapier.]
no subject
[Her laugh is a little strained but. It's there.]
There are techniques for not being stabbed, though. For parrying a blow and all of that. [She pauses for a moment, and then nudges LSP's arm a little, positioning it better.]
This feels more natural, right?
