...You might be surprised.

[That's all he wants to say about that right now. More than he wants to say, really.]

[ She looks up at him with dull horror, then burrows against his shoulder. ] I'm sorry. I'm so sorry about this.

[ She bites back on the torrent of awful things she wants to add, because even she knows it won't help a thing. But it hurts, having all this in her head unchallenged, without the sparks of joy she typically gets from being with other people. ]

[happydreamed]

It will be alright. [He rubs her back gently, though knowing it may do little to help.] None of us begrudge being here for you.

[sangreine]

I don't want to make you miserable, is all. And I can't make anyone anything else right now.

[happydreamed]

I would be far more miserable knowing that you were suffering and I wasn't there to support you.

[sangreine]

[ Hmm what's a less upsetting way of saying 'I don't deserve you'? ] Usually I feel very lucky when you're there for me. I think that's what I'd feel now, if I could.

I'll... try to make it up to you sometime. [ more really hopeless qualifying thoughts here ]

[happydreamed]

You will. I'm not foolish enough to believe I'll be spared effects like these in the future, and I know you will do what you can to help me. I have faith in you.

[ She knows that's true, but she still hates it. She's not nearly as patient as Doctor, so surely she'd fail at being there for him if this situation were reversed... at least she doesn't think that's entirely her new and strange pessimism talking. ]

I'll do my best, I hope. [ Right now her best sucks, so she just snuggles against him, wishing she could get the comfort and peace from doing so that she usually does. ]

[happydreamed]

[He can at least provide the physical warmth of snuggling. That's something, right?

Hopefully these effects don't afflict her for too long.]
