[ a win is a win, and when things are this desperately dire laura is going to take them where she can get them — even if that win is as small as convincing someone to take a little water. she's as pleased as she can look right now, tired and strung out and dirty as she is. there's no denying that smile she'd tried to patch on her face before is just a little bit more real, at the outcome. ]
When I said I'd get you a drink, this isn't what I meant.
[ a joke even, which is more than she's wanted to manage in days, so maybe she'll call that a win too. (if she's really honest, every moment that she's not curled up into the foetal position and waiting for it all to end should be a win right now)
she can use the moment to more critically assess gideon's injuries though, some of which mirror her own, down to the eerie little teeth-lined edges. laura tuts, a sympathetic sort of sound as she comes to stand next to gideon. ]
