The past week has not been easy on either of them. She really feels like she's slowly dying with the way she just feels cold all the time, the way all she wants to do is sleep, but Tommy has kept her inside, kept the rest of the ship safe from her, and she knows she'll never be able to repay that gift.
He's kept her from really becoming a monster and she's hardly ever awake long enough to thank him for it.
Even now, her cold hands in his, her eyes are closed while she listens to him speak. It takes her a long time to find a memory that will fit that description, and when it becomes too much work to keep her head up she just gives up and leans it against his shoulder while she speaks.
"I rebuilt a spaceship by myself for six months," she mumbles, grasping for the details to tell a more complete story. "It was a Ghtroc Industries 690 freighter that had crashed and it..." she trails off there, like she forgets she's telling the story, but then it comes back to her. "The power should have been drained but it still worked."
