[ In its own way, the frown is comforting. It is good to be cared for. ]
I will dispatch Loki for our food and supplies, should need arise to go out again, [ she assures him, not wanting him to worry. He would not like to hear it said that way, but if I truly need something of him, he will do it all the same. ] Would that I could offer you my aid, but here I am only some foreign girl with a forceful voice. I would need more hands to still their fists. I would need answers to feed them. They riot because they are frightened.
[ She pauses, not wishing to speak of what she cannot do. It is easier to cast favor upon what he has done. ]
No one will be troubled if they are not in the way, [ she agrees. ] You were good to shepherd so many to safety.
It is best to stay away from the streets if you can. If Loki can't manage, let me know. ( he still can, and finding ways to survive in meagre times is a skill of his. as for the people, she isn't wrong. )
I know.
( granted, it is not in Graham's nature (or capacity) to hold much ill will. even if it was, he wouldn't when their behavior was sparked by fear. he's seen what fear can drive people to do. he does not blame them, even if he does what he can to stop the worst of the violence. )
It is my job, as long as I'm here. ( he's never been very good at taking a compliment, has he? )
