Just some company that won't kill themselves looking after me. [The smile that touches her face then is weary, pained, and very rough around the edges, but the warmth in it is childlike. She's tired, she hurts...and Duke doesn't deal in bullshit, but he's...sturdy. It doesn't feel awkward or uncomfortable admitting to him just how wrung out she really is.]
