Heehee. Call it a lucky guess. Or maybe more like wishful thinking? I was kind of worried I was gonna be the only mom here who hasn't done this before.
[ That's true at least - her social anxiety brain had been very helpfully conjuring up all sorts of scenarios where she was the only first time mom and everyone else was on their fifth or so litters and every single worry and question she had was going to be hopelessly juvenile in comparison.
You know. Helpfully. Like she wasn't nervous enough already. ]
Everyone's been super nice, don't get me wrong! It's nice feeling like we're all looking out for each other. But... hmm, I guess knowing somebody else is figuring things out for the first time makes me feel a little better.
[ Her smile brightens a bit. ]
New moms should stick together!

[ the other bunny's smile is- infectious. beautiful. there's a certain something in that smile, where it doesn't matter how much thought went into what the smile should look like because the goal was to reassure both of them. "new moms should stick together." how nice is that? ]
Yeah. Us new moms need to stick together.
2/2
so why do her cheeks feel wet and blotchy? why is her breath starting to get shaky? ]
Oh. Oh, jeez, I'm. I'm sorry, I didn't think.
[ and that's about all she manages to get out before she has to bury her face in her hands, muffling the sobs that she didn't manage to stop in time. ]

Oh, that isn't how that was supposed to go at all. ]
Oh - jeez, um, I didn't mean to- [ She parroting the other girl's fluster right back at her like a dummy. Not helpful, Ai! ] H-here, I'm sure I've got...
[ It takes her a few seconds of patting herself down to even remember that her dress has pockets, let alone where they are but once she dips her hand into one she manages to produce her hankie (clean, promise!) and offers it, with her free hand tentatively squeezing the other bunny's shoulder. ]
Here, use this...!

[ she wipes at her eyes with the butt of her hand, trying to calm herself until she finally lets enough of it out. it's not like she looks good a full minute later, all blotchy and red, but at least she can talk without stammering. ]
Sorry. It's like... It wasn't real until you said it? And now it is. And that's scary, and I should hate that, but- but I don't, because it's still better than going back, and. I'm rambling again. I'm sorry.
[ with those wide blue eyes still trembling, she looks ai dead in the eye and says in an almost manically polite tone: ]
I'm Ken- Kinsei. Kinsei like the planet. Um. What's your name, ma'am?
no subject
[ Is it mean if she's a little relieved? She doesn't want anyone to be crying, exactly, but seeing that she's not the only one overwhelmed and not sure what to make of things... it makes her feel a little better, at least. ]
You can just call me Ai. Don't worry about formalities and stuff. We're all supposed to be looking out for each other, right?
[ As if to prove that, Ai turns the wattage on her smile up a little more. ]
Kinsei's a really pretty name.
