He's very rarely ever not on a martyr bender but he would appreciate that she's giving him a chance to prove her wrong. He doesn't know how long he's been out of action, how long she's been here before him. The kinds of things that happen to people here. All he knows is that they're both alive and he'll do anything to keep it that way this time. Anything to make her heart beat less quickly when she's talking about the worst case scenario like this.

"Okay. Okay. Don't be upset." He pats her hair, closing his eyes and just breathing her in like he has to make sure she's real. He's not letting her walk out on him this time. And if she is going to try, he's definitely coming along.

"I don't like it here," he says quietly after a lull. He's referring to the medical bay but she can freely interpret it as this whole place in general. Everything was noisy. And wrong. Wrong like an off-balance kind of wrong. Like somebody stormed in here and broke gravity, flung it in his face and made him deal with it.
