          ^{She’s not UNACCUSTOMED to this; she’s had her own INJURIES, she’s upset the wrong people. MAYHAP gotten involved in something she SHOULDN’T have. Oh, but the other she AIDED seemed to be naught but a MAGNET to some form of bad luck. Always wrapped in HERDING bounties && taking in the OCCUPATIONAL HAZARDS as they come. It is where she casts no JUDGEMENT ‘pon he. She only knows as much as GALACTIC WANDERER can. A temporary home on board of BeBop, && some form of HOSPITALITY to be had. Even now as she wets && WARMS a cloth of which held PURPOSE to clean away STAINED scarlet ‘pon his mien in her APPROACH. Her touch is gentle, CONSIDERATE. Well in tune with the potential TENDERNESS in flesh.} 

          ^{But all the while, she cannot HELP but to speak on behalf of what she sees. Only of WARMTH, just as oasis-likened eyes portray. Having now MOTIONED to his wrist, bandaged by kind touch of she ‘pon his RETURN, && adjusting it. Gaze flickers to meet ALMOND other.

^{it’s a groan that moves stiff vocal chords.  it’s been longer than he realizes and talking is more an effort than it has ever been.     “  h– …  how long— “   a wince but he has done this before.   he knows how to push through the pain.     “   how many… days ?  “}
