[ Pretending that she personally know a particular rival prosecutor for half a year was something, and if that doesn't show how good Athena can be at being private with her feelings, then there isn't anything else. Something like this—pretending she was fine, whether it was emotionally or physically—was a challenge, but not so much that she'd easily slip. So when Natalia decides to rest for a while, Athena relaxes.
She pulls the blanket on her back closer to her and hugs it for a bit before walking away to make some hot chocolate. They're rather lucky to have a supply of hot water considering the weather. Athena opens a packet of powdered chocolate and mixes it in with water. She brings the cup with her back to Natalia, only to stop by a small rack to pick up a blanket for her as well. ]

[ This all feels like the beginning of the apocalypse, really. ]
