She hates having to say the next thing aloud, to admit her weakness, her uselessness. "I can't run. I've got...joint issues." Easier than trying to explain everything about Ehler-Danlos in three seconds flat. "Most of the time I walk with a cane for stability."

Her tone of voice is apologetic. She can't save the cop, can't save herself. She's probably going to be useless in the water, unless the sealskin magically makes her a healthy seal. What are the chances of that?
