Inside of the room with Zillie, Dan is standing over by the window, leaning against the wall as he looks at her.
He lets out a sigh right before noticing her stirring. Coming over to see her eyes fluttering open.
Dan: Zillie?
She lets out a groan.
Zillie: Oh... everywhere still hurts...
Dan: Yeah, well, that explosion is still recent. Your body wouldn't have shaken it off entirely.
She props herself up onto her elbows, looking around.
Zillie: Where are we?
Dan: Somewhere safe. It's where we've been for the past day or so since it happened.
Zillie: I've been out for an entire day?
Dan: Could be longer. I'm going to be honest, it wasn't the time I was keeping track of.
Zillie stares at him for a few seconds before looking off to the side with a blush on her face.
Zillie: How's everybody else?
Dan: I haven't heard anything bad.
She looks back at him.
Zillie: You don't know?
Dan: Well, yeah, everybody's fine. The only bad thing would be what Ironwood said.
Zillie: What did he say?
Dan: John Sieks is here. And Ironwood's forgiven him.
Zillie: What? He did? After everything, he forgave that traitor so easily?
Dan: His reasoning was logical, even if we don't like it. Said we needed everybody possible for the fight.
She lets out a sigh.
Zillie: Yeah... guess it does make sense. But I certainly won't like having him around.
Dan: Neither will I.
He lets out a sigh.
Dan: You hungry?
Zillie: I could eat something, yeah.
Dan: I'll be right back.
He flashes a smile at her before exiting the room.
She looks out the window right before Ironwood comes walking into the doorway.
Ironwood: Good to see you're awake.
She looks over as he comes walking into the room.
Ironwood: How are you feeling?
Zillie: Could be worse, General.
Ironwood: Has Dan already told you about John?
Zillie: He has. He told me you forgave him.
He lets out a sigh.
Ironwood: It's certainly difficult to. But in time like this, you need as many allies as possible. And we all know we don't want him as an enemy.
Zillie: Sparring with him was never any fun.
Ironwood: I told Dan I'd ask. Already spoke to Winter about it, too. How do you feel about John staying with us?
She lets out a deep sigh, thinking it over for a few seconds.
Zillie: Like I told Dan. I'm fine with it. But it doesn't mean I have to like him.
