Newly-released hairs tugs across her face, and she pushes it back, tucking it behind her ears without minding that it just slips straight out again. It feels good to have it loose in the breeze, even if it's in the way. It's been worse, and it's not like she's in a combat zone where she needs all lines of sight clear and uninterrupted.

Her smile across the cab at him is amused, bright. "Any other favorites I should know about? Maybe I can wheedle invites to those, too."
