If you fall over...

[There's no real threat to complete that with. What, he'll pick her back up, set her on her bed, and find the truffle for her? Yeah, that'll really make her reconsider her actions.

He sets her on her feet, hand lingering right behind her upper back in case she topples.]

Take it easy, yeah?

[Maybe hover for a little longer, Garrus, because she absolutely does not look steady on her feet. Erin takes a handful of slow, deep breaths before she steps away unsteadily from the living wall of support behind her.

Right. She left the truffles in a little net of vines in her locker. Even when she feels terrible it's easy to open that up, retrieve one of the gently flapping fungi from her net bag, and tear it in half. Half goes back in, and the other half she takes with her to sit on her bunk and eat slowly. After a minute, she pulls up her feet and lies down in her buck, no longer easily visible from the door except for one foot still sticking out.

A moment after that and there's a quietly belated:] Thanks.

[forgivetheinsubordination]

[He stays only a little back from her as she moves, ready to catch Erin if she falls. It's definitely a possibility. By the time she's lying down, he's by her bunk.]

You're welcome.

[It's just as quiet.]

Would you like a blanket or water or something, or should I go?

[papavum]

[She's already nesting into her ridiculous pile of blankets, dislodging feathers as she does. Eh. She'll pick them up later.]

I'm okay. I think I'll sleep for a while, see how I am when I wake up.

[Or more accurately, lie here and stare at the ceiling for a while, but rest is rest.]

[forgivetheinsubordination]

All right. Call me, please, if anything changes.

[And then with that he's heading for the door, planning on leaving and closing the rover behind him unless she stops him. Seeing as she hadn't wanted to go to Medical, Garrus thinks it's a safe bet she doesn't want company.]
