She gave a sad huff of laughter. Yes, well, remember what I said about staying on his good side? I am currently very far from it. Things had turned so horribly wrong so fast. 

Simmik shook her head at the healer's apology. It's not your fault, she assured the other woman. You didn't know. She was thankful for the out, though, because she really didn't want to talk about it. If I decide I need to talk about it later, I'll come find you if that's okay.

Yes, he and Derg have a strong bond, so it makes sense that he would treat you well to avoid upsetting his friend. Still, just be careful, okay? She knew how quickly things could go bad, and Arlette seemed far too nice to get caught up in that.
