love should be as flowers of the weedy sort
Kamaria grows meeker still, at Melita's stubborn assurance that nothing would make anything better between her and Sunjata. While she is frustrated at her own inability to penetrate this wall, she doesn't feel angry, because she understands the simple fact that not everybody gets along. Much as it isn't what she wants. She's experienced it with other children in her classes - kids who will pick and bully or think themselves better or even those who remain distant, quiet.
Sometimes, it just isn't meant to be. But family? That's different, and hard, and she only wishes that Melita would come around more. But perhaps that message has been lost in the echo of points said in different ways, and obstacles gone untrumped. There's something defeating about it all.
Melita scoffs and says it's not all about winning, and Kamaria's head tilts curiously at that. Though she can't bring herself to smile, she gets up and works her way slowly over towards the woman. Her eyes may be downcast and stormy to Melita's fiery waywardness, but she tries to rise through it. Gently, she tries to bring her arms around Melita to hug her.
"Don't be pissed off, please," She requests genuinely, promising, "I'll be your friend, and I'll tell you about everything!"
