but she looks out from the bedroom to offer teddy a small smile. ]
Thank you, Teddy, that was awful quick of you.
[ teddy looks from vasquez to emma a few times, opening and closing his mouth like a fish. ]
You— he— when did—
[ emma waves a somewhat dismissive hand, then goes to take the supplies out of teddy's arms. ]
He's been here a while now.
[ without really bothering to explain the context of why vasquez is there, in her home.
teddy continues to flounder for a moment, and then— ]
You're— are you leavin' along with him?
[ the disappointment in his tone makes emma's smile a little softer, sadder. ]
