[ Bodhi watches her, remains silent as conflict crosses her expression. he's not gonna try and push her if that's something she doesn't want to do, but - he also obviously does want Vanessa to agree with it. she has talents and abilities that could be of use in all of... this.
he's doing the same, right now. finding something to do, to help, to fight - it's not as if he has much else going for him. all that's waiting for him is death. if he can do something, to make this place more bearable for himself, and those similarly trapped, then he'll try. even though there are so many people here, so much better suited to do so than himself.
when she responds, Bodhi gives her hands a squeeze and a smile. ]
( her smile lingers and she is grateful to him, more grateful than vanessa believes she could ever express in words.
she gives him a nod, a pitiful attempt at thanks, and slides her hands out from his. instead, she leans closer, resting her head against his shoulder. once settled then she takes his hand again, covering it with both of hers.
you are a good man, bodhi rook, and a very dear friend )
