"I don't want to have one, I don't like crying!" she says in a huffy tone, but there's the tiniest edge of a laugh hidden in it, too. Definitely better than crying.
Still, she doesn't really... move away from the grip Kate still has on her. She's comfortable there, clinging to her like maybe she's the only lifeline she's got at the moment. She does ease Kate back down to the mattress with her, keeping her in place with the way she curls against her.
She settles her head against Kate's shoulder and just...stays there like that for a while. Maybe if she just lays here like this for long enough, all the bad thoughts will just go away.
Or Kate will get bored and start talking. She's not against either of these things, if she's completely honest.
