"I'm okay, Vic," Violet needed the breathing room and a chance to get her thoughts together. It was a lot for her, everything seemed to be crashing against her again and again. Her brain should have been fried from all the stuff that had happened in her life. She blinked slowly at Victor and then smiled, a soft, quiet, somewhat lopsided smile. "Just tryin' to catch up, I guess."
Which was the truth. She'd only been out of the medwing for an hour or so. She'd done a lot of sleeping there, when she wasn't staring pointedly at the ceiling and ignoring the world around her.
"I'm glad you're okay." She could check off two names on the list of people she cared about. Knowing they were all right lifted a little bit of pressure off her shoulders.
