Handler. It's a title that sets her teeth on edge and serves to reaffirm the assumptions she'd made during their first meeting. His past was not kind, which makes her only more determined to show him that kindness now, as much as she is able.

"I'm okay," she answers without hesitation, and after a moment she's surprised to realize that it's true. She feels... lighter somehow, and she hadn't even realized it until that moment. Watching him make that little star, she asks in turn, "How are you doing?"

She hasn't seen him since that first day, keeping mostly to herself while learning what she could of this place. Now she regrets that time lost between them.
