[hi. mathis is in (throws dart) the refectory, having found a relatively out of the way spot to try to tuck himself for now. he's hiding, is what he's doing, now that he's realized wrapping up does not keep the words on him covered.

[he's probably like, up against a wall, so not SUPER hidden but if she's not looking down and veers too close then yeah. yeah that could happen.]

[he gives her some time, especially after she PASSED THE FUCK OUT, but mathis comes to find her later.
what she said, then-- it resonated, in parts. he's still thinking about it, about saying she's sick and tired of being a burden, about how the rest of them would look at her. he's still thinking about how quick some of the others are to stand between him and everything else, how he knows they look at him.
so when he finds her-]
A-asa...?
[steeling himself, taking in a breath.]
Um, thank you for... for bearing a burden like that for the rest of us-!

[she is thankfully awake and lucid by the time he goes looking for her. when she finds her, she's sitting somewhere nice and quiet after having hobbled away from the cabin to escape her roommates.]
Huh?
[this is just about the last thing she expected to hear today, so she just... stares at him for a second, shocked. and then she looks away.]
Um... I wasn't trying to do anything noble like that. I was just trying to survive.

I... I know that you were, but you still... you did survive.

asa has absolutely no frame of reference for how to react to this, so all she can do for the first few seconds after the memory releases them is to stare dumbly at him. eyes wide. mouth open. trying to assess how he's reacting to this, considering... everything. the fuck.
when she finally manages to say something, it's a very eloquent:]
W-What?

[he's left a little dazed, in the wake of all of this. it's-- it's difficult to center himself again, but asa's voice helps, at least.]
