*Faye moves her hand away and steps back slightly, lowering her eyes as she mutters softly*

I don't have anything in the world else I need to be responsible for...

*She looks at him again when he talks about her putting up with him. She considers the colour thing too, nodding as her eyes follow his arms and his legs. She spent plenty of time looking at him - and likely she had even noticed the change - she just hadn't thought to bring it up*

But in all shitty seriousness, Gale - is there anything I could have done to help stop you getting that way? Am I not a good enough roommate, a good enough friend? Or even - is it a pain in the ass having me around?

*This has been the worry the whole time too - if she'd been good enough, maybe none of this would have happened. It would hurt if he didn't want her around anymore, but she would leave if it helped him out, if it was what he wanted*

Whatever it is, you should tell me...

*She bit her lip as she turned so that she was facing him again, eyes wide with concern, frowning gently*

Cause dammit I'm not going through all that being worried sick again.
