His sudden motions and gasping catch her off-guard, waking her from her half-sleeping state in a corner of the room. Then she's up and off the chair, and coming over to sit next to him on the bed.]
Eddie! It's okay. You're safe... breathe.
[She'd be far warier of using the word "safe" if she knew the serene vision he was leaving to come back to the horrors of Deerington. But for now it'll do...
She puts a gentle arm around his shoulders, and a hand on top of his - if he'll let her.]
