"You're very kind," she says with a smile. And sweet. So different than her inventor friend anyone she's used to dealing with. "I'll try not to be a burden as we figure this out."

Feeling a bit better, she dabs at her eyes with her handkerchief before putting it away and standing. "I should be going, though. I have a few things I need to take care of still today. Whatever 'today' means in a place like this, of course." There's a small laugh and a shake of her head at that thought. The Nexus was definitely the strangest place she's ever been.

She smiles once more before walking around the table to his side. Despite the confused look she's sure to get, she'll lean close and give him a very gentle kiss on the cheek. As she pulls away, she speaks softly. "I'm sure we'll see each other again soon." With one last smile, she'll leave him to his books, her echoing footsteps disappearing the moment she's outside the alcove door.
