[ Maybe not to him they aren't, but emotions not making sense would be as weird to her as not being able to hear would be to him. And okay, see, that's a notion she's going to disabuse him of someday. Because he does matter. Of course he matters, how could he not? Even if they were only talking on a completely personal level, he's made her happy again, and that's something she'd started to believe wasn't possible. But it's not just personal, it's all the people he's saved, the things he's made possible. He matters to her immensely, to the world plenty as well.

But she likes it, likes the intimation of closeness and the continuation of faith put in her, the feeling that he is hers, in this moment at least. It's as good as his hands on her, and for now she can substitute her own for those, sliding down his chest and up her thighs as she moves, helping herself a little like she'd been helping him earlier. She has a little catching up to do. ]
