[Jessie has been existing in a constant state of fretting, waiting for Buzz to come back. It's not the first time, she has human friends here who have died- she's had to wait for the process before. But it's not the same when it's one of their own. They're usually so resilient.
And Buzz died anyway. The week without him was worse than anything she can think of. Worse than the terror bird, worse than the Titanic, worse even than losing Woody, than losing Emily. It made her realise she couldn't be without him. She couldn't bear it.
So when she hears him yell, she's already racing across the house to find him, gathering his little spaceboy self in a surprisingly gentle hug. ]
[he appreciates the gentleness, because somehow his plastic feels like it's on fire as well as freezing. it feels terrible, and he hates the idea of one of jessie's hugs feeling bad instead of a comfort.
so buzz does what he does best; he forces himself past the terrible physical feeling and focuses on what's important to him: the emotional feeling. he hugs her back, though it's a little weak.]
Nothing would stop me, [even though he knows it wasn't really... you know, optional.] Sorry for making you wait.
[She's pretty firm on that. This is all this horrible, awful town, and she's just so very, very tired of it. She gives him a gentle squeeze then steps back a little, her hands remaining on his arms.]
How do you feel? I know it makes humans sick.
[Coming back from the dead. But she can't voice that part.]
[She'll leave him to it, heading down to the kitchen with some hasty (and slightly panicked) parkouring to grab some batters and a screwdriver. It's a little longer getting back up, with the items in her arms, but sure enough, soon she returns, looking no less worried.]
Okay, I've got the stuff. You ready?
[Because she knows changing his batteries is always a daunting task for him- for how easy it is for him to lose himself. Neither of them wants that looming over them if they can help it. ]

I-- It couldn't hurt to try?

Okay, you sit tight. I'm gonna go raid the kitchen, I'll be right back.
