Every time Sarah perks her head up, she's getting pets if Amelia has a free hand. This reminds her of the few cats she's met during her time in the Nexus and the way they seemed to love nuzzling into her hand. And the way they always seemed to know she was a sullen person in need of cheering up.
Her lips twitch into a wry smirk for a moment before she turns her gaze fully to Sarah again. "The Nexus has a habit of doing that. Everything will seem to calm down for a bit, and then..." She shrugs, frowning as she strokes Sarah's soft, warm fur. Steve knows what she means. "It's certainly never boring," she adds as an afterthought.
Oh that question. She wasn't expecting it so quickly. "I'm fine." Liar. "Taking things one day at a time." ...truth, but hardly a real answer. "Keeping busy with research, mostly, with some weapons practice thrown in from time to time." By which she means several times a day, usually.
She finally looks up a moment later and picks up one of the filled danishes, picking at it a little to make some effort to eat. It also keeps her from having to meet his gaze. "Just need time for this to pass. I'll be better when this is fully behind me."
