"Um." Greta had stilled at the refusal, but it's harder to remain so when Iman starts to pick at the knots in the scarf, and she makes an aborted motion to take over, or to stop her, and chokes back a needless 'be careful.' Iman is being careful.

But she's obviously not fine.

Greta rises to her feet when Iman does, alarmed by the thought of her just walking out the door. Where on earth is she going to go? "But Rush will be back soon," she says. And it's true that Rush probably wouldn't be pleased to come back and find Iman out for an unlikely stroll, but that's not really why Greta wants Iman to stay put. The Rift attacked her; she was so nearly lost. And now she just wants to go? How would she have liked it if Greta had decided to just go out for a wander right after being released from that awful ROMAC cell?

"You can't just leave," she says, caught somewhere between indignation and distress. "Not on your own, anyway. I'll come with you."
