Laurie had never imagined how cursed Hawkins was. The group, albeit reluctantly, told the girl absolutely everything. At first, they didn't want to at all, Steve and Robin immediately telling her that she better not get involved.
"I'm not exactly gonna be able to sleep knowing my friend is dead because of this otherworldly being." Laurie replied, walking to Steve's car with a huff. "Not to mention, my other friend is literally wanted for murder."
Then, they proceeded to give her an explanation on all the weird shit they knew. From a stranger girl named after a number with some sort of psychic abilities to this gigantic monster that murdered Max's brother, the blonde haired girl was a bit stunned to even imagine everything. But, she believed them.
"You don't think we're all, like, mad do you?" Robin had asked the girl hesitantly as they were walking around the shop, picking up bits and bobs to give to Eddie.
Laurie grabbed some milk, putting it in the trolley, and then answered, "it explains the weird inconsistence with everything to do with what's been happening at Hawkins." She shrugged, giving a small smile. "And regardless, it explains why you guys were so quick to believe-" Laurie cut herself off slightly, lowering her naturally loud voice. "-he was innocent."
Robin nodded slightly. "So are you not scared or something? About all this?"
Laurie pushed the trolley towards the shopping till, Robin walking besides her. "I'm going to be honest and say I am absolutely terrified at everything right now. My ex girl-"Laurie cut herself off very quickly with a cough. "erm— my best friend is dead and to think it's by some other dimensional being is frightening. This Vecna guy really must hate the youth."
Robin gave a sympathetic smile. "You know you really are handling this all well. I was beyond scared shitless finding out everything." She picked up some cereal, throwing it in the trolley. "Like, super super scared. But mind you, we had accidentally discovered this Russian plot and I wound up drugged by Russians— pissed myself terrified."
"Russians?"
"Yeah! The Commie ones." Robin added, hoping it would explain it more. "Turns out they were being a bit suspicious under Starcourt."
Laurie nodded. "I'm not surprised." The pair began pilling the food on the counter. "Though, Isn't it human though? To be terrified?"
"Well, yeah." Robin agreed, though elaborated further, "just you seem calm."
"I do?" Laurie frowned. "I've never been a calm person. I'm sorta a person who's entire persona is happiness on adderall." She shrugged a bit, taking "calm" as a compliment. She smiled brightly at Robin. "Thanks though."
