Silva woke up; body already stiff from just laying on the bed. She got up out of the bed and stood next to door, becoming aware of how the conversation had become quieter in the dining room. With her socks she made little sound when she came to the kitchen's entrance, Silva heard Eva tell Rick how she thought Silva was cruel and not to be trusted. Rick tried to calm her down, telling her all the good she done for him and the crew, even before they met.
"Eva…" Rick sighed; a strange chill struck his body.
"Is something wrong?" They turned to see Silva leaning against the doorway for support. Her eyes were filled with curiosity and something they couldn't figure out.
Eva strode up to her, "Silva…" She couldn't even begin to think what she was going to say.
But Silva understood, "I know you're mad with me Eva. You may not think I understand how you feel but I do, and I'm sorry for what I did to your dad. You might not ever forgive me, but at least know that I apologize for my actions." Silva bowed her head down as much as her protesting muscles would let her, to show she meant it. Eva was bewildered by Silva's speech and her action; in the background Rick was hoping Eva would at least accept it.
"I- I accept your apology Silva." Bowing back a little. "I can't tell you how confused I am though." She scratched her head in embarrassment.
Silva waved a hand, "Don't worry about it. We all get confused at times, hell! I was confused when I was accepted into the racing tournament which only accepted boys!" Smiling back at her. "Now, I think I'll go see what the others are doing," she stood up a little straighter and despite her bruised shinbone, she padded into the dining room.
"Is she always that confusing?" Eva faced Rick, casually leaning against the doorway.
"Sometimes, but I think the reason she acted that way. Was because she felt really bad about hurting your dad and almost hurting you. But I think she's actually more surprised than confused…" Rubbing the back of his neck. "She probably thought you weren't going to accept her apology."
"I thought about saying that, but I'm not that mean." Pushing herself off the doorway and walking past Rick, giving him a light punch to the shoulder. "Well, not as mean as my dad." Leaving to the dining room.
Rick rubbed the spot where she hit him, "Their almost like sisters." Following Eva into the dining room a little while after.
