[She's more emotionally jaded and tempered than he is, this may have already been proven to him in person. Yes, she knew that look - a bit too well, even, but there's no use letting it drag her down. Understanding it also doesn't make it any easier to deal with - one of those things that really don't get simpler with the passing of time. Again, this may not be now, but the focus will be to rebuild - and for that to happen, one can't afford to stay drained. The march of time waits for no one.
Picking out when someone is overworking themselves took all but no effort (it's also something one can get very good at ignoring when then they do it themselves). As brief as it was, she still remembers his look when she first stepped in, back on the streets of Mayfield. And as she's promised and has been doing, she meets his eyes evenly without batting an eyelash.
...He looked a bit startled, but he seems acquiescent. Ah, that'll do for now.]
Mm, please do.
[With that, she closes her eyes and waits for landing, while making sure for the umpteenth time that her hold on Dizzy is careful and secure.]
