[ She's fine with loose, so long as he's showing enough presence to either accept or reject it one way or another. And currently he seems to be passing that test, which is a really nice thing.
She makes a noncommittal noise to his answer about the alloy, because more and more she's quite convinced that that's a subject she doesn't want to touch until whatever point he's back in a much more coherent and normal state of mind, one in which reminders of what's been bothering him are less likely to start something all over again. So she moves on, considers how he responds to the question about food, and then starts talking. ]
Maybe a smoothie or something would be a good idea later, once you're feeling better. [ But she tries to make it clear in her tone of voice that it's nothing more than a suggestion, something she thinks would be a good idea but she's not going to push. ] I mean, there's only a 50% chance of it being uncontaminated but Dummy would probably welcome the chance to try, he's been in time out a lot lately. [ Nothing that requires an answer if he doesn't want to give one, just easy pauses if he wants to interject before she keeps onwards. ] I think maybe you should get cleaned up first, though - wipe down and change clothes. [ Not shower. Maybe a bath, maybe, but not somewhere tight and enclosed and full of water. That she knows more than enough to know is a very bad plan. ]
