Shirley's not all there right now - this is a lot to deal with, after all - and so Carolina's arrival comes as a complete shock. She visibly flinches when the space marine speaks, and for a moment, every muscle in her body tenses up - but this person doesn't seem like they're going to try anything. Maybe she's in the same boat, just... a little more prepared?
That's all she's got right now, but it's something. She forces herself to relax, shoulders dipping slightly as she nods. "Thanks." She's not thirsty at all, but she needs to drink something, right? Who knows how long it's been at this point...
She unplugs the waterskin and takes a swig, frowning slightly as she swallows. Something seems off about it - maybe she's just really not thirsty? She pushes it to the back of her mind, handing back the waterskin as she tries to think of something she can say.

"Um - you're not from here either, right?"
