[of course she lets that joke go unanswered. the humor in it is of the bitter flavor. it's funny because it's true.
she shoots him a look, holds up a hand - not a fist (that's important and it's also infuriating) - as if to say wait.
even she'd needed to catch her breath when she'd first made it up the beach (both times, really) - and though it occurs to her he could be faking it - the need for a rest barely poking through his facade (facade of a facade?) - she decides she doesn't have time to care. if this is a ruse, then so be it. it occurs to her again that she doesn't have to do any of this, that he's giving her an out for whatever reason - it's still an out.
but there are benches nearby - he can sit or he can not sit, that's up to him. she means to make her way to the small pool of wakers, one of which lays a hand on her shoulder - a moment of information exchange - vi shaking her head 'no' and pointing toward the place where silco might still be lingering. it's ...moments.
she will return with a bag - which she will shove at him immediately. there's no strength in the shove, she has deliberately held that back and vi's hands are shaking before she crosses her arms in front of her.]
