"Suit yourself."

It's said in a way that means thank you, or as close as Hennessy can come to it.
She's relieved when he turns away, though his presence had never truly stopped being a comfort in spite of his tendency to see too much. She's not sure where her attempt to shut down the ley line had left their friendship. She'd assumed they'd sort it out once people weren't actively trying to murder them both and the world didn't end.

Her eyes fall shut as though weighted within a few seconds, but she finds herself starting awake again every time she gets near to sleep. Old habits die hard, and she's cycled around into that weird panicky state that comes with having stayed up too long, where the mind and body fight each other because one still assumes danger even once the threat has gone.

She rolls over after a few failed attempts, fixing her gaze on Ronan's back through the bars. She debates with herself before speaking, but since they're probably going to kill her rather than let her have her powers back once they learn how much she sucks at using them --

"Hey Lynch? I'm... sorry things ended up how they did."

It's not quite an apology for her choices, because if she had to do it again she'd still want Bryde and the ley line neutralized. But she hadn't wanted to hurt him in the process, and she's not stupid enough to take his willingness to stay with her now as proof that she hadn't wrecked things between them.
