( Tarja at least has the grace and awareness to know she's interrupting, unlike Gav. Still, Jill nods at the other woman in thanks for taking care of a man who is notoriously difficult to keep abed. Not for her and Tarja's lack of trying, though through radically different methods. It's with great reluctance that she lets go of his hand and walks out the door, giving a nod to Tarja on the way out. )
Do as she says, Clive. I'll see you soon.
( She's called away from waiting first by Lord Byron, who wishes to ascertain Clive's health and then by Torgal, who wishes for some food. It's enough to make Jill's own stomach growl -- had she forgotten to eat in the days leading up to finding Clive? So it's a quick bowl of porridge before she and Torgal make their way back up to the deck. The fresh air, the sight of the Dutchy... it all falls away again when she sees Clive, her relief at his survival flooding back at once.
Torgal sprints ahead to greet Clive, tail wagging happily as he barks his delight to see the man once more; Jill doesn't mind waiting until after their second reunion to offer him support on the side Tarja isn't. )
Thank you, I'll take him from here.
( He's a weight she'll gladly bear, gladly support, after all. )
