They're not going to tell her to move or demand attention. 

If she seems calmer, or else if continuing the murmured lines seems counterproductive, Heria will fall silent. 

She's as calm as she seems to get, anyway. (It's not entirely obvious whether she's even still awake.)

That, Shen can check.

She's awake, just resting.

OK. Rest is good. 

They consider about trying to leave her alone a bit, and if so whether or not to explicitly say she can call them. 

No, not for now. 

Consult on schedules and arranging things. (Could one person be less overwhelming?) Yes, trying that. Shen slips out.

Heria stays and takes out a sewing project.

She goes back to watching the TV, after a while. She doesn't uncurl, though, or make a sound.

Neither uncurling or making sounds are at all required of her.

That's probably for the best, yeah.

Well it certainly wouldn't be good to require it.

She'll stay sitting and in the room, sew or set up her datahook so she can work a little.

It seems like the girl intends to stay curled up on the couch indefinitely. (The half-eaten food bar is on the table, where she put it down to take the remote; it's within easy reach, but she's not even looking at it, much less making a move to take it again.)

She is not in danger of actual acute starvation and could have reason to not like the bar. Laeres will bring back more selection, and then they can try to ask. 

If nothing else has happened after a few hours, she'll reach out for Shen to come back.

Yeah, she's pretty set on not moving. A few hours will pass entirely uneventfully.

Shen comes back in. 

"Hey," she tries, pitched for least-startling-possible (Shen tells her words again). "Do you think you might be able to try to answer a few questions for us?"

She doesn't startle, but she does tense up a little, and then sits up.

"Eh." It's pretty noncommittal, but she's not disagreeing or arguing.

"Ok." They don't want to push her, but it matter, to know something.

"We think you were in some kind of bad place before you came here. Is that true?" 

She seems confused by the question, and after a few seconds she shrugs.

Assuming she understood them at all that's... rather informative.

"Did they do things that hurt you, or not give you enough to eat that you weren't hungry, or keep you somewhere and not let you leave, or not let you do things you like? Did they do anything like that?"

She gives them a suspicious look, but stays calm, and when she nods, it's very matter-of-fact.

"I'm sorry.

Did they tell you that it was alright for them to treat you like that?'

And, back to confusion.

"Did it seem like that was something they might think?"
