[ Tessla moves her fingers a little, turning her hands and looking at her palms. It's... so strange to be in one piece. Ever since she had been cut apart and put in those tanks, still alive but unable to reach anyone, she had felt disconnected to her body. Now that it was in one piece, it was overwhelming - especially for a little girl.
She sobs, tears falling in the kind of bone-deep relief that comes with renewed hope, and she carefully (and very unsteadily) stands up, wobbling the few steps to Knives and burying her face against his thigh. It's all too big for a thank you, too big for words but Tessla is sure he can feel it. ]
I-I don't know what I want.
[ She's never had many choices, and doesn't really understand what they are in the first place. All Tessla knows is that she never wants to see a human again, and that her brothers are safe. She holds out a little hand for Vash as well, instinctively wanting to surround herself with her family. ]
I'm just... very tired.
[ Exhausted, body and soul. There's no pain, no healing, just calmness, and she's barely hanging on to Knives' pant leg. ]
