[torn between yes please and not wanting her to lose sleep over this, but... not sending her back to her deck alone now; she's not a soldier, not used to this, or shouldn't have to be. no one should; that's why they do what they do..... would it bother her to be invited to climb in? usually an issue for non-Betans, even when not meant intimately.

fortunately there's an alternative!] If one of... of these other beds move, pull it over here? All the amenities....~ [still gripping her hand, warm and reassuring in theirs. she can move things without it, right? because she's awesome. c:] I'm glad you came.

[might find questions later, but that she knew... it's overwhelming, humbling. the mental load she must have to carry, and yet she's still here, with such kindness in her eyes....

almost reverent] You're truly amazing. Wish it could've been something nicer, not this. [pulls her hand closer, cheek leaning against her knuckles. thank you.]
