"Are you alright?"
Tae hesitated, running both hands through her hair, head down. "I just need a moment," she murmured.

"I just need a moment,"
Charlie nodded before he stood. His hand smoothed the shirt down, he had put it on not a moment after they left. Instinctively ha hand brushed around the collar to see if any bandages were visible. Frowning because one was he grabbed the glass and left to get some more water.

Hearing him leave, she remained still, taking a deep breath. There wasn't any way she needed to burden any of them anymore. Taking another breath she laid her head against the wall and stared at the ceiling as she filtered her thoughts and placed most into a black box. It was decided-- she would leave come morning.
Once she made he decision set in stone she stood, walking back out of the room.

Charlie made it to sink and refilled the glass quietly. "I told her."
Garcia looked up when he walked i. "Charlie?"
His gaze lifted to her after a second, responding to her by shaking his head. He knew she was asking about which part. "About Nina."

"I told her."
"Charlie?"
"About Nina."
Tae lingered by the door, head tilted towards them, And a small smile touched her lips as she looked down and started towards the room she was staying in. She was surprised that he had even told her that much, and it made part of her feel a little higher than how she had been feeling, becoming the prey of what she once hunted. But then another part wanted to help even if the situation reminded her of another time. She commended Charlie for his choice-- many would've ignored the kids and moved on, but the fact he had stepped forward made it all seem a little less... Grim.
Her hand found it's way to her stomach, pressing against it lightly as she stood outside her own door, shoving the remains of what she could into her box. But she couldn't put him there-- he didn't deserve to be put there. Quietly she stepped into the room.

"About Nina."
Garcia's eyes softened in understanding and she leaned forward and placed a hand on his arm. "You rest."
Charlie lifted his gaze to her before smiling softly. "I know. I just can't, you know that."
Garcia exhaled before placing a hand on his face.

She moved to the bed and laid down, laying her knife under her pillow out of habit and grabbed the photograph. She laid it by her, hand over it, ignoring the hunger that dully craved her attenrion as her eyes closed.

"Do you want me to stay tonight?"
"No Garcie." He leaned against her hand while speaking though. "You already come more than I expected. I won't do that to you or Benny. " he closed his eyes exhaling. This was one of the few times that he was comfortable enough to show his weaknesses. When she was helping, he didn't have to worry as much.

Studying the wall, her thoughts drifted, and eventually she gave up and closed her eyes, letting herself drift to sleep, knowing that there wasn't much else she could do, let alone prepare herself for.

Garcia nodded after a moment. "Ill bring medicine. "
He exhaled, knowing he couldn't talk out of everything. Instead he nodded with a small smile. "The food smells good." Replies after a long pause."
A hand flew up and smacked the back of his head. "No change subject! " chided

Charlie ducked away from her before exiting the room. !
"I'm going to check on her."
Garcia threw a towel at him as he left before fixing some plates.

Her hand unconsciously drew the picture closer as she laid on her side, half thankful for a dreamless nap even though her mind was venturing across different possibilities of both the past and present, and it didn't dare go towards the future.

Charlie went to the door and knocked quietly. "Miss?" Not hearing an answer he opened it a crack before stepping in. "Hello?" Called out

"Miss? Hello?"
Hearing the door open Tae started awake, eyes snapping open and at the door. She sat up, blinking away the confusion, voice low and thick, "What is it?" Feeling something under her hand she looked down at the picture, then picked it up and placed it back in her bag.
