Cassian's warm fingers on her cheek stir her more than his voice and her eyes flutter open, glassy and heavy with exhaustion. It's Cassian. Automatically she breathes into a weak smile. She assumes she is hallucinating because he hadn't even been with her, she's imagining him here, coming back for her again.
Her mouth works to explain what happened, but all she manages to spit out is: "Fell."
Obviously. Regardless, her fingers lift to curl weakly around his arm. "Go away." If she's struggling, he must be too, he has to leave and the only way she knows how to say that is telling him to go away. Leave!
