[ He tries for a smile, offers it her way as encouragement as much as anything else ] Could even find you some food like the Doctor ordered. With my charm, I bet I could even get you something that isn't replicated. [ Is it obvious he's trying to drag humor out of her? Trying to diffuse the tension that's built in his limbs now that he isn't touching her, isn't able to assure himself that she's alive through the evidence of his own fingers ] The mess crew love me.
