She takes a sip of the new drink and then nods appreciatively, trying to let its sweetness and his affection ease her tenseness a little. That's not so easy though, when she can still feel his own restlessness at the edges. But she makes the effort to go along with his chosen distraction for now, resting her head against his shoulder as she follows his attention to the sky.

"Mutter's Spiral is in the right place, but the rest..." She gives the constellations her careful consideration, using a part of her mind that functions far more like an impossibly fast computer than anything organic to compare the image to the recordings in her databanks. After a few moments, she shakes her head lightly. "Whatever universe the rift is drawing this image from, it isn't one I have been to." Which is fairly depressing, to be shown stars she isn't allowed to explore.

If there's so little comfort to be had in his distraction, she might as well find out what is bothering him. Careful to only show him her concern without her trepidation, she gently brushes against his unease. "What's the matter?"
