Tiffany frowns, not feeling hurt but definitely feeling guilty and a little confused. "Yeah. Yeah, of course. Shit Nina, I'm sorry, I thought maybe it'd make you feel better - that's all. I wasn't trying to make your day longer. Maybe-- you want me to just leave you alone right now? 'Cause I can do that if that's what you need."

Something tightens in her stomach, and she takes a deep breath and makes herself nod when she doesn't actually want to. She wants to apologize and give Tiffany a hug, tell her to go get the gift... but this is the instinct that keeps getting her into trouble, she realizes. She can't keep letting herself fall for people. Not even for Tiffany, whose only crimes are those she hasn't yet and may never commit.

"Sorry," she offers instead, affecting a wince. "I didn't grow up with Christmas; I'm still wrapping my head around it. We didn't do much with presents when I was little. And... I think I really just need to go and lie down." Or to have some quiet in her cell, anyway, to think, to regroup.

"It's okay, Nina. You don't have to be sorry." She moves to sit on the couch. "I don't want to do anything that makes you uncomfortable, okay?"

"I know, Tiffya," she says gently, trying to soften things with the use of the diminutive. She spreads out a large silk scarf and starts setting her clothes on it, turning it functionally into a bundle. "You've always been very considerate."

"Well, I try. It don't always work. You can tell me if it doesn't."

She shakes her head. "It's nothing to do with you, I promise." It's true, really; she's paying the price for other people's sins.

"I believe you. And I will leave you alone about it, but if you want my help ever I'll be here for you."
