Beka smiles, tentatively. She really does like Crichton and hopes things settle out that they can be friends.

"I'm really glad about you and Aeryn. More than anything, I didn't want that to get broken. You guys are special together.

I'll be back soon, I think. I'm feeling lots better. But I've got one more thing to do out there before I can come back for good. Tell Aeryn I said hey when you see her?"

Her smile is warm and her posture is no longer defensive.
