She feels almost like she should ask if he's kidding, but gets the feeling she'll just wind up with a headache if she tries. She rubs at her temples. This is stupid.
"I'll keep an eye out," she says, tired but not in the physical way. She even lets him off the hook for the gesture.
"Is there anything else I need to know right now, or should we get a move on? I doubt we'll last if we stay holed up in a rotting shack the whole time."
She hates that she has to think about it like that. She'd like the chance to sit down and absorb it piece by piece. Sburb might have happened in a day, but the stakes were higher and there were guides everywhere pushing them along a path preordained by Paradox Space. And that's it, too--it was all one day, a very long one she's just come off the tail end of, and now she's here with yet more to figure out and worry about. She wishes there were somewhere she could register a support ticket to the equivalent of fuck this, I want to go home - whatever 'home' is, after the death of their universe.
