[ sara runs a hand through her hair, all of the sudden frustrated — with herself, for not being able to let it go quickly enough, with him for noticing, for pushing the point, with the entire situation. mostly with the situation. it's a frustration that comes from knowing that the rip hunter in front of her is lost to her, to the team. ]
Point me toward a drink?
[ using alcohol to cope is never a great habit, but after the day she's had? honestly, sara thinks she deserves one and if it'll take some of the edge off, all the better. whatever calm she's managed to gain by going through the motions of kata learned long ago has dissipated again, leaving her wrong-footed and confused, frustrated and vulnerable far more than she'd like.
but it isn't fair to him, either, is it? she won't tell him, she can't, but he isn't stupid. he can put two and two together and realise that something is wrong. in fact, he already has.
she sighs, shoulders dropping. ]
I'll get over it. [ she offers. it's not the first time she's died, after all. she blames thea no more than she can blame the real rip. neither of them were in their right mind. ]
