[He'll hear absolutely no complaints from her for this. She'll happily cling to him til' the back end of forever -maybe then she can convince herself that he's not horrendously broken forever because of this. He does eventually release his death-grip on her and she offers him a smile that could be a whole lot more convincing if she were a better liar. She's not, though, so he gets a sad, worried attempt at a smile instead of an actual smile. ]
You did what you had to do, I get it.
[She doesn't LIKE it, but she gets it. The poor excuse for a smile fades at his question. She really isn't much of a liar, and she doesn't want to lie to him.]
Been better, been worse. [This is awful, but not the most awful. That would have been after the goddamn TV dropped on him and she thought he'd died. Nothing has topped that just yet and she doesn't especially want to tempt fate there.] I'm just glad you got better.
