[ She may still be frustrated that Wash had been so resistant to tell her anything about Thedas or the time she'd forgotten, but he had tried to save her life. And even if he hadn't, he's still her best friend, and she cares about him.
She can only assume that his nightmares aren't as bad now as they had been when Epsilon was first implanted. They're not every night. He doesn't always wake up screaming. But they're still bad, and every time she jerks awake in the darkness to realize that Wash moaning in his sleep had woken her makes her feel helpless and guilty and scared.
Which is why she and Wash had been training Amitusha to help. The young tigerlily, growing bigger every day, can offer a kind of comfort and stability that CT just can't, and she's hardy enough that even if Wash lashes out in his sleep, he won't hurt her.
She sits up in bed, again, not knowing at first what had awoken her, then realizing that Amitusha isn't in one of her usual places at the foot of her bed or on the floor. Slipping quietly out of bed, she makes her way to Wash's room, peering in and calling quietly as her eyes adjust to the dark. ]
