Federation political prisons are not particularly uncomfortable. She's not going anywhere, but she can read, she's considering taking up an instrument, the only really awkward thing is that she doesn't particularly want to be supervised while she's sweating her way through her next pon farr one way or another but that's years off. That and she wishes she'd taken longer to get caught. But she was running out of the really low-hanging fruit anyway.
This is what she signed up for. She makes up imaginary profiles of people on the planets she got to, people who can live longer fuller lives with the stars in reach, one per day. One per day and she'll have loads of estimated impact left unused when she dies. Perfectly reasonable tradeoff and she can still read books.
Someone wants to interview her about Vulcan; they don't want to lose anything that anybody remembers; she gives the interview and then picks up some poetry.

"Hug?" Rúmil says.
"Do you want to talk?"
"I'm glad that she was able to reach you when not okay."
There's obviously more but he doesn't ask.
"Should we expect her back?"
"Should we expect her back?"
"Okay." Hugs.

When T'Mir comes back she is doing a - thing.
It is sort of hard to identify exactly what the thing is. She doesn't so much have flat affect as... no affect.

Rúmil definitely notices this. Rúmil is worried. He does not say anything. He does mention Utumno occasionally, in case anyone would like to know that that's a topic that can be discussed if it'd be helpful.
"It was a stronghold of the Enemy during the war. I spent about a century there as a prisoner."

"I see. - My current lack of emotional state, if it concerns you, is voluntary and I will end it soon."
"Is this a Vulcan attribute?"
warpfairy
"Vulcans learn to induce it. Most of them make more frequent use than I do."
"All right."
"Let me know if there's anything I can do."
So they wait for her to decide to turn it off.

She keeps it another day and a half, and then disappears into her ship for a bit, and then comes back a little green around the eyes but otherwise calm-but-having-emotions again.
And Rúmil does not comment on this unless she would like to talk about it, but Fëanáro goes "you're back!!"
"You were being like a Maia who doesn't know how to do faces. What happened?"
