+ got smudged .. may i?" she raises the fingers of her free hand, her thumb hovering and hesitating over their lips.

kali follows ripely without a second thought, fingers intertwining with theirs as they leave the med bay.

she tugs on their hand for a brief moment, tugging them to a gentle halt as she finally remembers the smeared lipstick. "ah, i'm sorry. it completely slipped my mind that your lipstick +

i do not mind company at all. it would be quite nice.

kali stands up the moment they do, watching the way they move slightly off balance. her eyes meet theirs, quietly taking their hand in hers. "you think it's cute?"

right?

hell. yeah.

about to get LIT.

"hey.." she says with a quick throat clear, still looking everywhere else as the slightest tinge of red blooms on the tips of her ears. "i am sweet all of the time."

|| kali trying to be stoic LMAO she do be struggling

"i will hold you to that promise then." she replies just as softly as before, turning her head to face them. kali then gently bumps their shoulder with her forehead.

kali makes a low grunting noise as she looks away, quietly looking anywhere else in the med bay.

it takes another moment before she finally says in the softest of voices; "of course i worry."

"do not be sorry." she says with a quick shake of her head. "i only wish i could do more.."

"you should be more careful." she murmurs, frowning as she meets their gaze. "what if it had been worse?"

she does not see why she needs to be screaming nor running around.

should she be?

once the question of a concussion is out of the picture, she finally seems to relax; sitting down quietly by their side.

"don't mention it." she says, idling nearby and watching like a hawk.

"i can imagine that you do."

she enters the med bay not long after that, basically assigning ripley to the closest person.

she's not talking at all, just frowning and moving.

she feels a strange sense of guilt, finding she wishes she could help her.

"i think you being here /does/ mean something. just hold out until then. you will be able to ask all your questions soon."

carefully scooping them up and immediately setting a slow and steady pace to the med bay.

should she pick them up??

quietly sitting down and looking away.
