[She couldn't start a conversation with Jude, at the moment, even if she wanted to because she's still not quite sure what to say.]
I also want to make sure he's okay. I imagine he's probably pretty worried too.
[And maybe that's all that needs to be said. Except it wouldn't do much good to show up while still visibly shaken. It'll just give Jude more to worry about, and potentially more to nag her over.
She leans her head against his shoulder, scooting in closer. Much like they were the last time they were sitting in this exact spot.]
But, you're right... I can stay here for a bit longer.
[Sometimes it's okay to slow down a little and get one's head straight. That's not typically what she does, though, but she can make an exception this time. Besides, being near Marui can have a calming effect on her. Sometimes. When he's not being too obnoxious.]
[Marui is nearly certain the answer to whether Jude is okay in that very moment is No. None of them are okay right now-- but they will be. Jude included.]
Jude knows better than anyone how tough you are. If he needs a reassurance, he'll send you a message. But he'd probably like some time to clear his head before talking-- just like you did. Right?
[In the meantime, Marui has a small mess of his own feelings to deal with. The dreamscape is over, but the ardency of what he feels for Leia hasn't fully returned to normal levels. Whether that's residual essence from Paris or a natural development is an open question.
Well, whatever. It'll work itself out. As long as she's taken care of, that's what matters. And she is; Marui knows he'll always see to that.]
