"The part where that sounds like an incredibly boring way to spend eternity, for one thing," Zam growls. What is she, a Hutt? Maybe she hadn't lived the most peaceful of lives, but she's no sadist.

Still, the more the man talks, the more Zam reluctantly has to agree with his conclusions. Yes, they're both stressed, to put it mildly. And while she thinks she's handling the possibility of her recent death far better than he is his, the fact that she's already gotten into a shouting match with the first person she's encountered on this island likely means she's not exactly coping perfectly either.

"Fine," she says, blowing a breath out through her teeth. "You're right. I wasn't going to try and kill you anyway." She's not even sure how she'd go about it in her current state. "Let's start over. My name's Zam. Last thing I remember before waking up here is taking a lethal dose of neurotoxin straight to the carotid artery, so... pretty sure I'm dead. Or dying. Guess this could all be a hallucination." It occurs to her belatedly that if he's blind, he might not have the best sense of what 'here' even means. "Uh... You've probably already figured out we're on an island. Further in looks like it's mostly jungle with some mountains towards the center."

It's not like she can tell him much; she'd only been awake for a few minutes before finding him.
