[ His offer is appreciated, even if all she does is nod her understanding of it. The idea of talking to a stranger who doesn't know her or have any preconceived notions of who she is might honestly be just as appealing as the idea of talking with someone who knows her fairly well. Given time, she'll come to have a preference for one option over the other, but at this particular moment, she finds them both unappealing. She doesn't want to talk to anyone about what she's been through, or the guilt that is gnawing away at her soul, and she certainly doesn't want to talk about how she keeps watching the ceiling with not-so-casual glances, half-expecting for a Gorn youngling to come tearing down at them.

[She's twitchy, even for Security. It makes sense, after everything she's been through, being attacked from any direction at any time. He wishes he could reassure her that she's safe here, but he's not quite that stupid.]
[A quick grin at her for that]
[mock solemn] All right, then we gotta deal with what we've got in front of us. You feeling up to a shower and clean clothes? I can get one of the female nurses to be close by in case you get wobbly, but it's one of the best things I can recommend for a person after this kind of experience. Something cleansing with warm water, none of that sonic bullshit.
