Sorry. [It's meant in exchange for scaring him, and is possibly the first time in forever that she's apologized for three separate things in a single conversation.] I know you're not. If you did, if you were, I don't think I'd stick around like this. [But she's there. Looking a little worse for wear - tired, her hair somewhere between wild and limp, skin a color that no living thing's should be. And the truth is, it could be because of any number of things: door hopping, inattention to her appearance, the stress of her discussion with her brother. And speaking of...] I told him that I'd been thinking of it well before we started... this. It's not because of you. [A pause, followed by a half-shrug and something that's not quite a smile.] Okay, it's not all because of you. Most of it isn't. I'm just... tired. I have been for a while.
