[She glances at Eames, who definitely seems uncomfortable with this, but he's not trying to stop her either.] "He's been through a lot these past few years, and whatever the nature of things between the two of you, you're closer than he lets most people be."
[It's both a threat and a request. Don't hurt him, but also take care of him. One cut off by Eames abruptly clearing his throat loudly enough to indicate maybe this line of conversation should end here.]
