Yeah. [he will sit down nearby, hovering just a little.]

Try not to do too much for the next couple of days. Go easy on yourself. [because that's easier than asking what happened, and also he can eavesdrop on another thread.]

[she nods carefully, and then winces a little at the motion.]

...mmhm. I'll rest as much as I'm able to.

[there's a slightly hesitant noise like he wants to tell her to stop moving entirely.]

...just... be there for each other.

[she smiles faintly]

But I think you'd do that anyway.

Of course I would. [...] This is another time you can be a little selfish, you know. I won't tell.

...

[what she wants most of all is for no one to die tonight but there's no way that's going to happen.]

Even if I can be, I don't know what to ask for...

[frowns :(]

...yeah, can't say I blame you. Maybe we should've just gone to the medbay instead, but...I get it. I kinda feel like maybe people shouldn't be alone after things like this happen?

[so like. don't thank him. it's just a normal response.]
