Codi nods and lapses into silence. It takes a lot of effort for her to focus on putting one foot in front of the other, and even then, she's having trouble keeping her mind on-track towards the goal. It keeps wandering like her weaving legs, fixating on things that she thought she'd already worked out in her mind.
Her relationship with Juhani, for example. She's been a curiosity so far and Codi has been happy to keep it that way; by Juhani's own admission, she's average in a lot of things related to the Force that Codi would otherwise be very interested in exploiting, but her knowledge of other parts of it and her willingness to provide it for nothing make her interesting to keep around and interrogate.
On the other hand, Juhani saving her ass just now has made Codi realize that she could be much more of a practical asset. She specializes in concealment and healing - the latter of which is important for reasons made apparent mere minutes ago - she has so far followed unquestionably her orders and shown regret for making mistakes with them, and her emphasis on balance makes her a level-headed voice when things get dire, as they frequently have over the last few months. If she'd had Juhani around during this last mission, rather than just bothering her at the start of it, maybe she could've avoided a lot of the pitfalls she ran into during.
She needs to keep this woman close.
Codi's pace slows, partly because she's getting sluggish, partly because she wants to walk level with her companion. "...Juhani," she says cautiously, an eyebrow raised. "How've you been doing? Like, in general?"
