[ A good plan, one she's happy to encourage. A dig around briefly for the jacket - the coat of the uniform that every day since she had gotten it, she had worn it impeccably. Didn't let a stain sit on it, didn't let a tear go unmended meticulously to barely perceptible. She would wear it better than any of them, of that she would be sure. Every morning tugging it straight, pulling her hair up and laying what remained of her jewellery against her hair like she had for years. Perfectly neat.

And for all that, for all she cares right now, she dumps the jacket unceremoniously onto the ground, a brief attempt to lay it out so that she can lever herself down to sit level with him. Easier for him to come close, that way, the log at her back to support her so she doesn't have to hold herself up alone so much.
