“No.” She shook her head. “I… I don’t know why I came. Sorry. I just haven’t seen you all day and… sorry.” She took a step back, doubting herself. “Didn’t mean to be a pest.”

"You're not," he said quickly, stepping out of his room. "Sorry I haven't been around. I've just been tired. Maybe I'm coming down with something."

Did he really think she — of all people — didn’t know what the ‘I’m just tired’ excuse really meant? “Sorry to hear that. Do you need anything? … tea? Or… snacks? … or…?”

"Snacks and tea would be great." He nodded. He was slouched a bit, shoulders hunched and looking about as far from being himself as one could. "Wanna go raid the kitchen?"

“Sure.” She nodded. “Do you want me to go fetch stuff and bring it up or…?”

“Okay.” She nodded, stepping down the hall. This was probably good for him; get him moving.

She was concerned. This wasn’t like him at all. Was he okay? What should she say? Gaius had told her to be quiet…

Tomhas didn't make any attempt at conversation, staying a little behind her and keeping his eyes on the ground.
