[She doesn't respond immediately, a dark look in her eyes as she stares down at an unfocused portion of the floor. It's only when she catches a glimpse of him in her peripheral that she finally turns to acknowledge him, her expression lost.]

He nods, though, offering her a weak smile. Assuming she passes it over to him, he takes care to write as neatly as possible as to take up as least space on the page as he can.]
This is what I was suggesting, thank you. Back to my prior question: Are you alright? You're unharmed?
