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

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

[rindude]

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

Good. [...] ...what can we do for you right now? You do a lot for everybody else when they come back from these things.

[countermeasures]

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

[she smiles faintly]

But I think you'd do that anyway.

[rindude]

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

[countermeasures]

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

[countermeasures]

[she nods]

No, they shouldn't...

[rindude]

Then I wouldn't call something like that selfish either.

[countermeasures]

...I guess I'm not very good at being selfish, then?

[rindude]

[there's a slight laugh.]

[she sticks her tongue out at him and makes a face. dignified.]
