[His stomach drops.] It's...not the first time, then. [He continues to hold her hand, but that's it. He's not going to try anything else.]

Trisha, you're not bothering me here. I'm not due anywhere for a few more hours. Theta'd tell me if I needed to go, and I don't. So don't think you're distracting me. [He's always thinking about her anyway in some capacity.] Something like this... [His head shakes from side to side as he lets it drop to his chest.] Something from the Plane is hard to ignore. And you don't need to be alone with it, and you don't have to be okay with it either.

[He pauses, his voice even softer.] I've never seen you this upset before. Real or not, this is hurting you. You were gasping, Trisha.
