Then we stick around until we're both ready to go.

That means you can't go and get transferred again.

i'll do my best.

[secondnature]

Just your best?

I guess I'll take it.

[forcevisions]

I won't leave you, Keith. Not as long as I can help it. Not until we're both ready.

[Keith would point out here that he was ribbing her—that he's actually capable of joking, but it doesn't seem like the time.

Instead:]

I won't leave either.

Thanks for wanting to stay.

[Because it means a lot to him.]

[forcevisions]

You're important to me.

[ The possibility of losing him thrust that into her stark awareness. ]

[secondnature]

You're important to me, too.

[Hard to say without provocation, but it feels important to say it back.]
