[Keeping his distance was probably the wisest thing. Jade isn't sure she could handle being coddled and hugged by strangers at the moment.
[At least she's trying to hold herself together here, but she's clearly hanging by a thread. The visions she just had before crawling out of the dirt still feel too raw. Not quite real, even though she knows better.
[Attempting a few deep breaths that come up a little short, Jade plants her hands over her knees. Her head bows a moment. Another breath. And then she slowly rises back to her feet. Or attempts to. Her limbs ache, but she manages to stay vertical long enough to find something to lean on as she catches her bearings, and tries to fully process what he just said -- "bring it all back" and "before you're ready" particularly stand out.
[Even hunched over as she is, Jade is towering. She'd almost be imposing if she weren't simultaneously cradling her head while looking like a gust of wind would knock her over in her current state.]
I... Yeah. I'd appreciate that. These rooms aren't shared, are they...?
[She's never been the most restful sleeper. Chances are that hasn't changed.]
