[Audio is actually easier for him, if marginally so. But he knows it isn't for her. He tries to be brief.]
I'm always here to listen. Anytime, Luna. No need to apologize.
[He closes his eyes so that he doesn't have to look at the patient who's reaching for him, trying to say something around the mass of bloody bandages.]
Just try to focus on the things-the things you made better. Nightmares still come, but you can keep going. I trust you, Luna. I'd trust you with my life. Think most people here would, too. Even after what's happened.
[Her words are pained now - not in regards to anything he said, but almost as though she's dealing with a migrane or something else completely taking up all of her concentration. There's a long pause while she lets that last message be translated from voice to text. Thank you, tablet.
Only when she's parsed out all his words does she start to cry.
He trusted her. He knew next to nothing about her, he could want nothing to do with her, he could see her as a waste of a doctor. But here he was, trusting her.]
T-thank you... thank you so much...
[At least she's trying to get a hold of herself so that this doesn't become an England #2 scenario. But Watson will still get to hear the lovely hitching of breath that comes with someone breaking down into tears.]
[Oh, Luna. He wants desperately to do something more for her, to be able to provide more than just words. He wants to save her, to have saved her from what happened. Of course, he can't. Since arriving here, it's been a long string of not being able to help people who need it the most. In the end Rhys had been all but killed, Angel had been kidnapped, Kunsel and Zack had died, the people in the hospital are impossible for him to see or assist, and Luna has been faced with an impossible situation that she should have never been put in in the first place.
That's not really what she needs to hear right now, though.]
I wish I could do more. Stay with Quark. Keep each other safe as you can.
If I-if I can meet up with you, I will. Okay? Just stay safe until then.
