He raises his hands again after that, uncurling his fingers and patting his palms against the wall. He's not really sure what the gesture is for; reassurance, maybe? For her or for himself - that, he doesn't know.]
...Please hold out a little longer. I'll try to work quickly. [A beat, and then:] Are you hungry?
