[that frown stays right where it is] But it's distinct for me anyway... [she nods, as if Jacqli has just confirmed something for her, and files that information away. she hates uncertainty, too, which is exactly why she's eagerly taking note of anything she can learn about this] Thanks.
[but at Jacqli's apology, she looks back up at her in surprise. and then she gives her an actual wry smile--the first smile of any sort that she's properly managed all conversation--and throws her own words back at her] You know, you don't owe me an apology either. [though she appreciates the sentiment, especially coming from Jacqli as it is]
Just... [she pauses, trying to think of what a next step could even be in a situation like this] Keep an eye out for anybody else with similar...symptoms, would you?
[she knows full well that an experiment like this could be affecting her alone, but treating it more like a case than some sort of Plane vendetta against her makes it easier. still, thinking just of her own plans, she sighs and says resignedly:] Otherwise...I guess I'll just 'ave to see 'ow long it lasts. [trying for optimism, she adds:] You know this place--it's bound to get bored eventually. [her attempt at a smile now, however, is much less successful, and instead just looks strained and weary]
