She knocked softly, the same knock she usually did on Jack's.

"None too happy, then, hmm?" she asked, trying to make her chuckle, or at least relax. She poured the water and then was quick to the good doctor's side. "Can I help? I mean, I don't... I don't really know anything about... you know... But I could... If there's something I can do, I'll do it."

If so, Evie goes the grab that as well, bringing it back to hold it under her, moving to lightly rub her hand between her shoulder blades. "Do I need to get a doctor?"

Absinthe shakes her head. "No, don't worry. It's all very normal." she reassures her. "I'm alright for now." But she felt more comfortable knowing she had something to throw up in, nearby.

Laughter, she knew. Laughter, she was comfortable with. "I just... I came to see how you were handling the announcement. And to say that I'm... I'm staying. And I'm going to help you out around here, and with the kids. If you'll let me." And even if she didn't want her help. She had, after all, promised Jack.

Absinthe nods. "I don't know if I could ever ask you to do that..." she admits. Not because she doesn't trust her with her children, but more that it's an uncomfortable request for her. Even though it was offered. Back to Top   Evelyn Cravens Mentor Intelligence The world forgetting by the world forgot.
