She's not completely surprised to feel tension in his body too, just doesn't like it or want it to be there. At the same time she doesn't really know to erase it from him any more than she does for herself. ]

[ It's too long and too hard to scrub clean and it's not the first time she's done this, used cutting off her hair as a means of gaining back some amount of control. It works well enough. But her response to his next bit is immediate and a little pleading. ]

Please don't go. [ That was too desperate, she doesn't want to be desperate. Her next words are more subdued. ] You may not want to watch, but I don't want you to go anywhere else. [ If he just wants to sit nearby with his back turned that's fine, she doesn't expect him to be at all okay with seeing any of this really. ]
