She leaned closer to Sasha, and in a hashed voice, said, "If you need me to knock him out for you, I'll gladly do it. Knock him out, and then drag him to a medic." Sounds logical to her.
"I would love to make a sandwich with you when we're done with..." She glanced at Jerry, "... That." The disapproval in her voice was pretty oblivious, "Anyway, up to you if you want to pass over your sandwich right now." Or until she had knocked him out.

"Oh gosh, no," Sasha looked mildly horrified at the thought of purposefully knocking Jerry out. She reached out and placed a hand on Ariane's shoulder in hopes that it would soothe the rabid beast.
"I'll get my sandwich for Jerry and um. Then maybe we could go make a sandwich together. Or tomorrow. Or.. well, whenever," Sasha beamed at Ariane.
Sasha turned her attention back to Jerry, eyes wide at the noise his stomach made.
"I'll.. be right back."
She gave Ariane a pleading look that said, quite simply, please don't knock him out.

Jerry meanwhile, left to his own devices too long, had slumped in his chair, dozing off for a moment. By the time Sasha had hurried off, he snorted and sat up again blearily. "Oh! Ah.... th-thank you again, by the way, Miss..." Oh, hell, she had said her name hadn't he? If he'd just get something to EAT he'd be fine. Maybe more water, but his stomach was aching now. He was too skinny to not eat regularly. Nevermind 24 hours without coffee. His brain hurt.

"That would be nice actually," She looked at Sasha right before she left to fetch the sandwich, "I think all the time I've spent with the boys made me a little too... Energetic." For example, the urge to knock Jerry out went up a little bit with every passing minute, and with Sasha gone, it started to go up with every passing second.
If she knocked him out, she could always tell Sasha that he passed out himself. Mm, tempting.
"Ariane," She answered with a sigh, "It's not that hard to remember... A pretty common name actually." Her parents hadn't exactly gotten creative.

"Ariane, durian, caravan..." Jerry mumbled, eyes clenched shut while he committed it to memory. "S-sorry, ahahaha, my brain kind of feels like it's gonna' melt out my ears ahaha... it's a v-very pretty name!"

"It's alright," She answered with a dismissive wave of her hand, "Sign of old age."

Sasha returned, a paper bag held in one hand. She dropped it in Jerry's lap with great aplomb, panting softly. It was probably pretty obvious she'd jogged the entire way.
The last thing she needed was an unconscious Jerry.
"Don't eat too fast, darn it."

He was about to defend what did remain of his youth before suddenly LUNCH. "Oh god, I'm starving-" Blood sure low, his brain was ringing, and everything verged on hysterical or enraging. He kept a nice even smile all the same. New friends and all that. Miss Ariane was very nice to have helped him out. Nicer than his friends who had left him, anyway.
He promptly tore open the bag and devoured what was inside like a starving stray animal.

At least she could understand that going a whole day without food was terrible, and decided not to comment on how he was eating like a dog with a loose jaw.
So she just watched.
"Right, so," She raised an eyebrow, "What's after this?"

"I've got to finish my shift at the labs," Sasha groused, watching Jerry with a critical eye, "sooo.. I think Jerry can just.. stay here until my shift is over, probably - unless he can get back to the bunkers on his own."
Sasha glanced at Ariane.
"I'm sure you're busy, but I'll make it up to you! As like.. a way of saying thank you. For um. For saving Jerry. I can make you lunch sometime, or, uhh. Well, whatever, I guess. Maybe Jerry can.. cover one of your pod shifts or something?"

"Hobby foo!" Jerry nodded blearily through a mouthful.

"Lunch sounds good. Pod duty is easy compared to making something edible," She grinned before raising an eyebrow at Jerry, wondering what in the world he just said, before dismissing it; it was probably nothing important, like most of the other things that he had said, "Anyway, seems like he's in good hands now, and no longer on the verge of passing out, so I'll leave you two to be?"
She needed a nice shower. Right now.

"Thanks, Ariane," Sasha gave the other woman a grateful look, lacing her hands together behind her back. "Just call me, or tweet me or text me if that's easier. Whenever you.. you know. Want lunch sometime."
Clearing her throat, Sasha turned her attention back to Jerry, lips pursed. Ridiculous man. She gave him a soft smile and a shake of her head.
"Maybe we can find you a free room in the infirmary. I'm sure I can keep Sunny at bay."
She lifted a teasing brow.
"Maybe."
