They've circled back around to where they started, with her in Stede's pocket and a professional distance between them. Little breaches of their defenses had just ended up closing them up further. They know too much to be strangers and too little to be actually friends.
She sort of reaches for one of the shot glasses she pushed away as if just holding it was going to give her courage enough to speak.
"If you need my help with anything, I'll be there. That hasn't changed. I'm just... sorry I can't be what you want me to be. That's it."
