As he sits next to her, Cathy leans in immediately, right under the arm he puts around her shoulders. She doesn't mind the lack of personal space, but she knows others do so she's been a little more careful about her casual touching as a result. Everyone seems so much more aware of it here...

[And while she knows it's too soon to already be feeling better, simply knowing that she will feel better after some time with Ladon helps.]

You've been clocking enough time I guess?
