Well, seeing as how I don't ever want it that you're not here... So, it's time I took my own advice, isn't it? [ Just briefly, she leans her head towards Winter's, her lips making contact in a brief kiss. Extremely brief, but the message should be clear enough - that the contact she's talking about is there. ] I kept saying everything would be okay, and... it will be. I've relied on you so much this past month, so... I need to make sure I can give all the same support to you when I need to. When we both need it.

[ She hugs her a little closer. ] I've said the same thing, haven't I? To do all of this, and more than that, everything I want to do beyond this... I need you, too. I want to be able to share everything else, too. Everything that has nothing to do with all of this danger and fighting, the things we'll have to look forward to when it's over. We just... have to work together to make sure we get there, right?
