[Cyril's face sinks, even though he knows she can't see him just yet.

I don't know what to say, lethallan. You tell me what you want to do, and we'll do it. You want to go somewhere and scream? Or beat up a pillow? Or spar? Perhaps we should sneak onto that ship and deface the paintings? Or devour some comfort food? Get lost in the woods of the planet we are near?
[ The offers make her laugh, startled and happy, and she feels warm for it. He’s a little like a brother, she thinks; it’s never going to be easy for either of them but she’s glad she trusted him with this. ]
I’ve already been hideously drunk and called someone I shouldn’t, which I’m paying the price for now. Perhaps we could find some food and watch some of the ‘films’ they have here?
That I can do. I can go to the Iskaulit to get some of the better food and then meet you for a film? You can pick out which one you like from the network.
[And he does just that. He picks up his room a bit and goes to get food. That way, by the time she arrives he has everything set up for her to comfortably settle into some escapism.]

I'll do any or all of it with you, if you need.
