[but she doesn't say anything else as far as that.]
That's how I felt. The busywork helps. But uh, there's always some huge despair hanging over your head, right?
[she shifts, and then winces, holding her breath again. ow ow ow.]
no subject
[ ...but, that's all, if she lets it go.

Sure. Sure, the fuckin' entertainment. [... sigh.] I'm assuming they're hosting this weekend.
[...] Thanks for coming to check on me.

[ off shift and all that.
... they reach over, finally, and fluff up her pillow a bit for her. ]
... Of course. We're here at your request, no matter what that might be.
no subject
[she appreciates the fluff, though. a beat.]
I'm going to ask for you again when I can. If I don't get murdered in my sleep tonight, anyway.
no subject
[ at that, they shift a little, ducking their head before they stand again, rising to their full height. ]
...you may, if that's what you would like, though, I'm sure the others would be able to attend to you just as well.
Have a good rest, Miss Lup.
no subject
I'll see you later... [a beat.] Um, Orion.
