She paid no attention to the state his ship was in. Even if she had wanted to, she had other things on her mind. She slowed as she realized he was no longer in sight. She kept her arms crossed as she continued trying to find where he was. Just as she was about to give up, she heard him return. There was something about his footsteps...

She didn't say anything but eventually her breathing settled and while she was still very awake, she looked as if she was asleep.
