[ She says on the next pass but her dismissive tone also suggests she's content to not needle him further about it. Given what little she knows of him he is, indeed, more than capable of building a better crutch but it also seemed like the least of his priorities right now. She's almost certain whatever he's working on right now, in fact, was nothing remotely close to a better crutch.

Instead she convinces herself to slow down on the next pass and jog to a stop in front of him, curiosity needling her. She hopes, in a way, it could serve as another and possibly better distraction... maybe for him, too. ]
