I figure they usually hang out at least once a week even if there's no threads. Stuff like level grinding in the bad section of camp/caves, eating together, or e-mail/phone messages but they're casual that if a sudden drop off happens Ramona just thinks Roxie is going into artistic hermit mode. Likewise, if Ramona is less communicative it's not a big deal on its own but prolonged absence can be indicative of later moods if they are bad or surly (surlier than normal).
Ramona's still kind of tentative on the inviting/visiting over at Roxie's place since it's a shared space and she's not wholly sure about Roxie's living schedule as it is now or the levels of welcoming. It was easier when they were just living together by default! However, she's not above leaving an unfinished book there by "accident," using rabbit visits as an excuse, or make a suggestion for dropping by in a vague future time like the breakfast thing as a subtle recon of boundaries.
She really likes Roxie with her hair down. Obviously she's not going to press her preferences, whatever she wants because it's her hair and all, but hair mussing is a definite thing with her in makeout sessions and she hasn't been particularly concerned that Roxie's letting it grow a little longer.
Aside from the major changes in hair, weight and a decreased homicidal rage, Ramona makes a mental note of any of the other small differences in Roxie, like new beauty marks, scars or just general behaviors that weren't there in college. It's just a quiet observational thing.
While Ramona has a sincere and positive interest in Roxie's art (after all she was willing to go to the gallery opening), she honestly doesn't try to get into the emotional meaning so much. It registers in her mind, she knows that passion is what makes it better than good, but she's more likely to comment on how a tree was rendered or something. She tends to like Roxie's because-I-can or more technically skilled projects over the passionately fueled ones. And the more emotionally close it gets the more she tunes it out in critique. Likewise she has no objections to Roxie drawing stuff inspired by her but honestly thankful that Roxie doesn't draw her in particular except maybe a sketch she keeps to herself sometimes, and I think even when they were first getting together Ramona never pulled a "PAINT ME LIKE ONE OF YOUR FRENCH GIRLS" moment because that would be dumb and self-absorbed, but she offered to be a model if Roxie was complaining about her life figure homework or something. More with a "hey you've already seen me naked" instead of a particular desire to be drawn. Probably because she would know Roxie's feelings better from a picture of her than all those times dealing with Roxie's "wonderful" communication skills, and that's too much raw honesty for her to cope with.
Ramona knows camp does stuff to people and the status effect she's most worried about is deaging, because she was very different in high school than how she presented herself in college. She basically doesn't want Roxie anywhere near her at that time to hear her say stupid shit and basically be the worst kind of teenager with a lot of anger issues. Turning into an animal or a guy ten times over would be preferable to that.
Mr. Miyagi has mellowed from fangirlish/fanbunny glee every time now that Roxie shows up more often but clearly still feels the need to be annoyingly affectionate when let out of her cage. Ramona's feeling of being ignored by her pet is totally absolved by the fact that Mr. Miyagi is just so darn happy in general when she's around.
Roxie has graduated to a drawer to keep her stuff in when she's over at Ramona's. Sometimes it's half-filled with socks or something but whatever Roxie can wear those socks too. It still counts.
Whenever Roxie complains about Ramona hogging the covers, she retaliates with spooning and/or cuddling so it's like "ha, take that! you complained and now you must endure affection, that will teach you!" And even if you say you're not cuddly, Scott and Roxie are basically tied for the most cuddle prone of Ramona's relationships.
She would totally be okay with trying to test the boundaries of the no sex rule if it weren't for the fact that Roxie would basically be the grumpiest bunny forever afterward. So she doesn't even bring it up. Even though, yes, Roxie being the grumpiest bunny...isn't really a detractor for her.
Sometimes she wants to ask Roxie about the period between college and now, like past relationships or things like that. She doesn't, mostly due to worry that it will end up awkward or she'll hear something she didn't want to, but it seems a little unfair that Roxie is privy to her list of misdeeds and it makes Ramona feel a little exposed.
Ramona tries not to think about what might happen after Camp. But when she does it dissolves into helpless dread as she realizes she may be okay in Roxie knowing about what potentially could go down but not okay in...actually having her involved in it. Essentially she is between a rock and a hard place or a hard and rocky freefall drop. Either abandoning Roxie so the League doesn't come after her (...bad idea) or trying to confront Gideon solo (...suicidal idea). She's been running scenarios through her head about how much control Gideon might still have on her since she's gone two years without his influence, the glow doesn't appear as often...her most optimistic chances of survival are about 5% unaided. And it's not like she hasn't thought about if Roxie would do the whole aid thing! But she's not going to ask, and if it comes up she's pretty sure that conversation would end badly since she would basically be against it, citing how much Gideon could outclass her in terms of manipulation and power levels, but she knows Roxie would just take it as a "you don't believe in me" putdown.WHEN IT'S NOT...entirely that. It's mostly that Roxie has been hurt badly by Ramona, and Gideon knows this so it would be easy enough for him to get into her head to capitalize on her self-loathing or insecurities like he did to Ramona. She didn't have to worry about that so much with Scott because his mind was simple and there isn't a lot for Gideon to warp. Roxie...well, Ramona's been in Roxie's mind. She knows Gideon could have a happy field day altering that.
