And she certainly doesn't mind being up here alone with him now, away from the sounds of the city that she missed so desperately on the island. She shifts slightly, pressing herself closer to Kaine, mostly on purpose, her arm hooked around his again. It's not just the warmth of his body she's looking for -- though it helps -- but the chance to find someone else, a body to replace the people she's missing.

It's a cruel thought, in a way, but it's there all the same.
